FAR SIDE FOSSILS
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Larson's The Far Side may love wordplay and goofy jokes, but the comic's biggest obsessions are nature and science. It's therefore not surprising that Larson wrote so many great gags centered around fossils, despite the fact that the study of petrified plants and animals doesn't exactly have a 'laugh a minute' reputation.
As Larson has explained multiple times, the gag of cow tools is simply the surreal idea of what bovine tools would even look like - something he describes in The Prehistory of The Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit as an "exercise in silliness." However, when the comic was published, readers didn't get the gag.
8 Fossilized Footprint Larson Loves the Image of People Getting Stepped On Humans being crushed underfoot by large animals is a bizarre recurring image in Larson's comics, but this is the best version of the gag simply because of the paleontologist's absolute joy at the discovery.
7 Cub Scout Attire In Another Timeline, Gary Larson Is a Great Horror Writer There's a thin line between horror and humor, especially since both hinge on turning everyday expectations and rules on their head.
