Bats, balls and, of course, ducks.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Larson's The Far Side is known for its love of nature and surreal sense of humor, however the iconic comic also has plenty to offer sports fans. Larson's unique brand of single-panel weirdness is at its best when there's a clear premise to work with, and the rules of football, baseball, basketball and more provide exactly that.
9 The Duck Relay Far Side's Take on This Olympic Sport Is Pure Surrealism While The Far Side is often smart and contains lots of references that rely on scientific or pop-cultural knowledge, sometimes it's just plain weird.
Typical of Larson's less than flattering view of humans, the karate students are all drawn as nerdy stereotypes, suggesting that their upcoming victory isn't down to immense martial arts prowess but simply their experience with these exact targets. 5 Goldfish Baseball What Baseball Giveth, Baseball Taketh Away Larson's Far Side is obsessed with goldfish, and for good reason. The fish bowl traps its occupants in a very specific environment, marooned in the middle of an outside world that is at once potentially lethal and a purely domestic setting - in many ways, Far Side's goldish are the inverse of its obsession with desert islands.
3 The Dog Paddle The Far Side's Dogs Take Life Seriously The Far Side takes few of its characters seriously, but it tends to make an exception for dogs, who are generally depicted as surprisingly earnest. Here, a group of hounds line up for freestyle swimming, with the commentator observing that the doggy paddle is likely to be favored.
