Sounds an awful lot like trying to justify the current bullshit situation in US politics tbh.

I'm pretty sure Zach is in the "sounds terrifying" camp.

Clearly you aren't too familiar with the entirety of history.... The current situation in the US is bad, but not unique by a long shot.

Fresh(-ish) Far Side Cartoons

1 Share

Back in 2020, an official website was launched for Gary Larson and his comic The Far Side, which until then had only existed online as unofficial fan archives and so on.

Along with the site, which reruns a smattering of daily cartoons, there was a section called “New Stuff” in which Larson described the joy of learning to draw with a digital tablet for the first time.

Since then, the “New Stuff” section has been very infrequently updated with new cartoons — including one quite recently. It’s lovely to see more work from Larson; for many of us, The Far Side is like an old friend.

I also recommend looking through the “Sketchbooks” section to see a ton more proto-comics and draft ideas, many of which might easily have become a classic during the comic’s run.

Not to be confused with the Uruk-Or-Urk-Or-Ur-Ur-Error, which involves mishearing someone and as a result believing that a certain fishing village in the Netherlands is a lot more ancient than it actually is
