Fans of The Far Side know how much writer and artist Gary Larson loved the natural, which manifested in many different ways throughout the comic's tenure in publication – including these memorable panels focused on flowers and other plant life. By taking a closer look at how plants appeared in Larson's work, readers can develop a more organic understanding of The Far Side's nature.
Most readers will be familiar with the modern meaning of the word"anthology," as applied to written works, TV and film anthologies, or collections of music. Interestingly, the word is also used to describe the collection and study of flowers. 8 "The Nose Collector": One Of Gary Larson's Most Underappreciated Jokes First Published: September 20, 1988 At first glance, this Far Side will have many readers asking"What-the?" That is actually the glory of it, however, because the panel rewards readers' patience with what is actually a classic Far Side flower joke.
Captioned"Ginger decides to take out Mrs. Talbot's flower bed once and for all," here, Gary Larson hilariously supposes what would happen if the neighbor's dog abandoned conventional digging and used a bulldozer instead. While these flowers are unfortunate bystanders in an unrelated Far Side conflict, this comic is a great example of the hilarious chaos of Larson's fictional world, in which anything could be alive – and anything or anyone could be doomed at any moment.
