My fondness of cartoons will already be pretty well known I’m sure. I’ve done several posts on Calvin and Hobbes, as well as recent ones on Dilbert and Cyanide and Happiness. About time for another selection, this time from the talent that is Gary Larson and his Far Side collection. Are you a fan of comic strips in general?

Classic.
Indeed.
I am. This stuff is wonderful
Is the butler one your favourite?
How did you guess? 🙂
I think it’s my favourite too. Especially on a Monday haha. I can totally imagine myself saying “I think the butler did it!” 🙂
Ha ha. Thanks for making me smile. 🙂
Very happy to do so 🙂 Are you a coffee drinker perchance?
Ohh, yes. I drink 3/4 a pot in the morning. Then water for the rest of the day. 🙂
So you’re not one of those people that finishes the pot and leaves it… 😉
Nein. 🙂
I love comics as well 🙂 I had attended a humour translation class in uni, and Gary Larson’s strips were of the most fun but also most difficult to translate!
What an intriguing sounding course. What other examples of humour did you study in the course?
Some of Oscar Wilde’s plays, some more comic strips (also by a famous Greek humorous comic artist, Arkas) and some magazine editorials and articles. I can’t say that I appreciated the humour in all of them, but it surely was a challenging course!
Sounds a nice mix. I don’t know how often you come to London, but you should try and see The Cartoon Museum if you get the chance. Charming little place and some brilliant satire in there.
I had forgotten about a few of these! 😀
I think I read pretty much all of them at uni. I even tried drawing my own strip at the time.
Ha! I LOVED The Far Side. Used to get a Far Side daily calendar every year. 🙂
Sounds an awesome tradition. Feel free to add any here you really remember laughing at. What’s your calendar this year btw?
Ugh – I have a really crappy calendar that I hate this year. Grabbed it for a pound in January just to have one to use at work. Some “girly” one with quotes from famous women.
I really pictured you with a funny calendar. Oh well, there’s always next year 😉
Love The Far Side!
Great to see so many fans here.
Classic Alex!
Would I be right in guessing the sixth one made you laugh most?
How did you guess ??!! 😀 😀
I love The Far Side! Classic!
Just so funny. I’ve lost count of the amount of The Far Side calendars I’ve seen over the years too.
