the far side image showing tiny people
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Larson's The Far Side has many obsessions, from dinosaurs to cows to ducks. However, inarguably Larson's weirdest recurring subject is miniature people - tiny homo sapiens generally depicted as living alongside their far larger equivalents. Far Side's miniature people comics are some of its weirdest, as Larson's predilection for surreal humor is fully unleashed.
Larson addresses The Far Side's sense of humor in The Complete Far Side, drawing a distinction between "wit" and pure "sense of humor" - essentially, humor that's funny when you think about it and humor that's funny on a gut level. Larson makes it clear that The Far Side is all about the latter, crediting this with growing up in a family that had "a deep, sincere appreciation for the many uses of a good gorilla mask.
Once you've got your character established in the hearts and minds of readers, it's not a good idea to run him over with a truck a few weeks later. ... My ever-changing characters got crunched, speared, shot, beheaded, eaten, stuffed, poisoned, and run over about twice a week. 11 "At Midnight, We Sail!" Far Side's Secret Recurring Character Is Hanging Out in the Background While Larson actually penned multiple strips about miniature people sailing tiny boats , this one gets the top spot for two reasons. First, it's funny that the tiny people in the ship are plotting, suggesting they're aware that Al's patrons might not take kindly to their escape.
8 Flowers Far Side Flips a Classic Joke Shop Gag Larson has gotten a lot of gags out of simply switching roles, and this strip sees a daisy wearing a human as its version of a joke store 'squirting flower.' Fans looking at this early Far Side comic might argue that the flowers in this strip are meant to be big, rather than their human prisoner being tiny.
6 REPENT! Far Side's Sandcastle Meets Its End The sandcastle people return, but sadly this time a catapult can't help them. While Larson's art is sometimes seen as overly sparse, this strip makes it apparent how much work he puts into getting the important details right. The starfish, the tiny hooded robes, and the sign-holder's minuscule mustache all work to make this gag perfect.
