Hooray.

More info:

Welcome to TheFarSide.com, the first official online home of The Far Side ! Created by Gary Larson, the single-panel cartoon ran daily in newspapers from 1980 to 1995. In those fifteen years, The Far Side went from garnering controversy to becoming one of the most beloved cartoons of its time. Until now, it has never been offered online. We encourage you to read Gary’s Letter to find out why. (Yes, he is definitely still alive.)

TheFarSide.com offers a deep dive into Gary’s offbeat sense of humor with The Daily Dose, an ever-changing, random selection of cartoons. Comic Collections offer a different themed collection of his classic cartoons updated weekly. You’ll also find exclusive, never-before-seen extras such as sketches straight from Gary’s personal Sketchbooks.

And finally, beginning in 2020, and commemorating the fortieth anniversary of The Far Side , we will periodically unveil new work by the man himself! In truth, we really have no idea what might show up. But, on the other hand, what’s changed?

Losing both my hardback Farside and C&H series is the suckiest thing that ever sucked. But FS online is almost as amazing!

It’s a mammoth.

I love, love, love this header.

It looks like they’re only keeping one week of strips up at a time. You can’t go past Saturday when going back to the previous day. I can see why they’d want to do that as a business model.

The Far Side is back, and now produced on a tablet.

Hmmm. I like 2. 3 I feel I must be missing a pun/cultural reference. 1 just reminds me of lazy wordplay cartoons in Private Eye.

27

Reading pre-Internet humor makes me feel weird. Dunno why.

28

Yeah, 2 was the best. I don’t get 3. What is funny about it?

29

What are you guys talking about? What 3 things? I followed the link, there were no 3 images there or anything as far as I could find.

Edit: Ah, thanks LeeAbe.

Click on “Enter” on the door. There are 3 new comics.

I thought of it as people put ketchup on everything, bears put honey on everything.

32

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Put some ketchup on it.
