The funniest Far Side fish.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of the most iconic recurring elements in The Far Side were its goldfish, which frequently appeared throughout the strip's run. Given the opportunity, Gary Larson tended to prefer depicting animals over humans – though this was almost always done deliberately as a way of undermining human behavior, in a way that straightforward depictions of them couldn't quite achieve.
14 The Exact Opposite Of Burial At Sea First Published: September 22, 1980 "I guess he made it," one fish says to another, regarding their third cohort, who evidently tried to make a break for it. Unfortunately, the fish in the bowl have an obscured view, and don't realize that the carcass of the other fish lies on the floor at the base of their table.
Interactions between animals and humans in The Far Side were often adversarial, with deadly implications for one or the other party. This is one of the darkest examples of that dynamic – but also without a doubt one of the funniest. "So! You still won't talk, eh?" a kid says to his goldfish, sticking a straw into the nearly-empty fishbowl. Evidently, the kid has sucked out most of the water already, in his attempt to interrogate his pet.
9 Ahab And His Target Go All The Way Back First Published: May 14, 1983 In one of The Far Side's more silly references to classic literature, a grandmother takes her grandson "Ahab" to the pet store in order to pick out a fish.
5 The Far Side's Most Electrifying Goldfish Joke First Published: February 23, 1985 The Far Side often depicted goldfish in the familiar setting of a fish bowl, while bringing something out of their element into the mix. This panel is one of the most brilliant illustrations of that – as a goldfish goes to plug a speaker into an electrical outlet that has someone inexplicably been built into the wall of their tank. "Bob! You fool!" one fish exclaims at the other.
