FAR SIDE COW WITH A BRIDE AND GROOM
Summary Gary Larson's The Far Side loves to take everyday moments and make them bizarre, and that even goes for marital strife. While broken marriages don't exactly sound like the perfect setting for cartoon conflict, adding aliens, robots, fish and sentient chocolate somehow makes them hilarious, especially with a dose of Gary Larson's dark humor.

The Tarzan and Superman references are a prime example of Larson tapping iconic pop culture for joke ideas, as well as an indicator of his great instincts in doing so.
6 Chocolate Bar and Chocolate Bar M&M's Sentient Candies Confront Their Issues M&M's iconic "spokescandies" go back further than you may think, first appearing in black and white cartoon adverts in 1954. That's a long time to work and live together, but Far Side helped the pair stay on track with some much-needed marriage counseling.
While high explosives have always had their place in cartoon humor, Larson's use of missiles and nuclear bombs has a real-world inspiration. Larson has talked before about how growing up during the Cold War - and especially going to school during the Cuban Missile crisis - inspired his sense of humor. Larson's childhood was full of idealized Americana, but always with the possibility of total thermonuclear destruction lurking in the background.
