Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the recent revelation that Gary Larson's "Talking Dogs" comic is scientifically accurate, fans of the long-running strip can't help but look back on some of Far Side's other great canine panels. With their lovable demeanor and puzzling behavior, dogs were always one of the comic genius' favorite subjects to goof on.
14 Hopefully This Sled Racer Has Pet Insurance First Published: March 27, 1980 In this panel, Gary Larson skillfully remixes a common problem for car owners, by depicting it as an issue for a sled-dog driver. "Egads...another flat!" the man on the sled cries out, as all the air has gone out of one of his dogs.
12 Rubbing His Nose In It Afterward Won't Help The front lawn was often a scene that Larson returned to again and again, and in the panel, he shows off his artistic ability to draw the reader's eye across the page. Always looking on the bright side of life, the poor dog who's about to be snipped seems to think he's in for something good. Like a classic case of pride coming before the fall, the comic's true humor comes from the fact that the dog in the car is bragging to his friend without realizing the dark twist of fate he is about to endure.
Though dogs are heavenly creatures, Larson wasn't afraid to show the darker side of man's best friend, and he often tapped into the canine's deepest darkest fears. "Dog Hell" combined two of Larson's favorite muses in the form of the underworld and dogs, and he presents the reader with a unique vision of the bad half of the afterlife.

The incredibly humorous dog panel shows an owner berating his pet, and it even clues the reader in on what the dog hears when receiving such a dressing down.
