Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The animal-filled world of Gary Larson's The Far Side notoriously features the creatures of the Earth triumphing over humans, usually in hilariously twisted fashion. While Larson is known for his timeless comics, his lifelong passion for environmentalism provides a lot more context to the Far Side's pro-animal sensibilities.
In this particularly memorable Far Side strip, a talking bear mocks two people who wandered into its cave - by using their skulls to re-enact their stupidity. It plays out like a hilarious cautionary tale, emphasizing the raw truth that bears do eat people, especially when they stumble into their homes. Sure, it's dark, but Larson equally asserts the violence as a product of human carelessness - something that would even make a bear shake its head.
