far side comics with giraffes
Summary Gary Larson's The Far Side ran for 14 years, maintaining its incredible quality from its debut in 1980 to its final appearance in 1994. Unlike some other newspaper strips, Larson hit his stride almost immediately, and the tone, voice and favorite subject matter of his comics remained consistent for over a decade. That means that every month, some Far Side gem has its birthday.
The strip above shows a dog dreaming of finally catching a car, howling triumphantly while standing atop its fallen prey. However, due to confusing art, some readers thought that the strip was implying carnal relations between canine and carburetor, leading to mass complaints. 8 Infestation The Far Side Comic Published 9 June Just as the slug comic imagines animals performing an inherently human activity, worshiping their terrifying idol, this comic treats kids as household pests, with a homeowner calling in a pest control expert because her tree has become infested with neighborhood kids. Larson's eye for 'humans as animals' is pitch perfect here, treating the treehouses the kids are playing in as the 'nests' of an invasive species.
In The Prehistory of The Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit, Larson notes that he doesn't quite buy that the Dennis mix-up happened accidentally, although he readily admits that, "What's most embarrassing about this is how immensely improved both cartoons turned out to be." 6 The Loch Ness Dog The Far Side Comic Published 12 June As much as The Far Side loves goofy jokes and wordplay, sometimes Larson leans fully into the surreal. That's arguably the case here, as a group of tourists to Scotland's Loch Ness are wowed by the sighting of a semi-mythical dog who lives in the area. Larson's art style is always bare and minimalist, but his framing is more sophisticated than it seems.
4 "Relax, Worthington" The Far Side Comic Published 2 June The Far Side doesn't treat its human characters very well, but its explorers often get the worst fates. In this strip, two explorers are about to wander into the home of a grisly predator, with a trashcan full of pith helmets and bones making it clear that the situation readers are seeing play out has happened many, many times before.
