I miss seeing the Far Side on a regular basis. One of my favorites was a new arrival in Hell being prodded by the Devil with a pitchfork, commanding him to choose one of the two doors before him. The doors were signed Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.
I recall another in the cockpit of an airliner just coming through a break in the clouds when the pilot sees two mountain giants dead ahead ... "What are goats doing in the clouds?" were apparently his last words.
Then there was the cargo vessel full of mannequins that capsized. Sharks went in for a feeding frenzy but found the faux humans unpalatable, complaining about the "cruel hoax."

The vice president of a company I once worked for assessed my contribution to the company, sent me this, laughed, and gave me a substantial raise.

Mr Larson does not like anyone posting his cartoons at least if on a pretend fan site or of course for some monetary gain but I'll post one of his new ones :

Larson fan here. I like the new site. I have been reading it for a while now. I like you get several a day. The collections at the bottom of the page are good too.
The other old comic I have been reading is Calvin and Hobbs. Interesting to read them now that I am a parent instead of a kid.

One of my favorites... One of my favourite too. I like it because I have met people like that. Very intelligent but could not do their shoelaces up or get similar basic tasks.

^^^^Whenever I do that with a door, I always mutter to myself "Midvale School for the Gifted"
Most years I have the Far Side daily calendar. Didn't happen this year.

One of the smartest guys in my high school class showed up in socks one day. The teacher asked where are your shoes. He looked down and was surprised he had no shoes on.

Love Far Side. So much said in a single pane. Two of my all-time favorites.

There is a Far Side page on Face Book where often folk post cartoons from other artists but of a similar humour. This is one from today :
