    I had to look this one up…

    This is an obtuse reference to the sanctimonious public service announcement (PSA) TV ad from the 80s “This Is Your Brain On Drugs”

    No, the comic doesn’t work for me either.

      That’s hilarious, and it’s not obtuse, this commercial was a meme before the invention of memes.

        Oh I remember that ad too.

        I was trying to say that Larson’s verbal reference is tortured inelegant. IMO of course.

      Maybe I’m just old, because I got it right away. Grew up with those ads, so its burned into my brain.

      Robot Chicken did a spoof of the PSA a while back:

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
