      A dolly is a wheeled tool for moving heavy stuff. They come in various shapes and sizes. They generally look something like this

          Wheely transporter? Everyone I’ve ever known has always called these “dollies”. Maybe it’s just an American thing. Also I actually looked up dolly to get this image.

            It’s an American millennial thing. From the folks who brought you boaty mcboatface and heckin puppers, it’s the “half of our humor is using babytalk out of context” generation

            We’d call that a sack barrow on NZ, usually. I’d think of a dolly as being four wheels.

        Whoa, why are the wheels all clustered together and tilted 45° diagonal?

          Probably to allow for a heavier load (clustered) and for keeping the dolly on rails (tilted) although the rails seem proprietary, not something you find just everywhere

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!
