    Another one that just goes over my head. Is the joke just meta, that the bear was made to look like the hunter “fought it” instead of taking a cheap shot from a safe distance?

      You got it right. Poor thing was just getting a drink and the hunter staged it as a monster.

      Im saying the bear just pretended to die, then pretended to get gutted and skinned and when the time came it killed the hunter after the 4th frame.

    Imagine you’re a deer bear. You’re prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer bear lips down to the cool clear water… BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head!

        I haven’t seen this movie in like 25 years, but I still read this in Marisa Tomei’s voice.

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!
