Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Larson's long-running syndicated comic strip, The Far Side, featured a number of recurring elements and themes over the years – including the frequent use of snakes. Just as often as these snakes threatened the humans of The Far Side, they proved to be the central characters themselves, as one of the strip's most regularly anthropomorphized animals.
11 At Least Give Them Some Doublemint Instead First Published: March 15, 1986 This panel is an example of Far Side operating at peak silliness, in as close to lightheartedness as the strip tended to get. In another strip that emphasizes the goofy over the macabre, Larson leans into his creative habit of substituting animals in familiar human contexts by depicting a group of snakes, who seemingly live inside a house, yet are completely unable to work a doorknob.
7 That Parrot Better Hope Someone Shows Up Soon First Published: June 15, 1986 More than one Far Side character was eaten by a large snake during the comic's tenure, though this stands out as one of the most amusing. The Far Side was at times a vehicle for the most shameless of puns, a comedic mode which Gary Larson was unabashedly a supporter of. This snake panel is a perfect example, as it substitutes snakes for humans at a bar, with a male snake sitting at the far right end of the bar, leering over at two female snakes, with suspicious looks on their faces.. One of the females leans in and tells the other: "Stay away from that character down there, Barb – he's poison for sure.
3 Don't Tell Impressionable Young Snakes Stories Like This First Published: October 28, 1986 At least as far as the year 1986 went, Gary Larson's Far Side featured snakes in some of its most innocuous installments. That tendency is radically upended in this particularly dark entry, which features "snake horror stories."
