Some time ago someone dumped this collection here. I'm going to repost it
Cool to have these archived but I just realized how stupid FarSide actually is. They're like universally not funny. Why the fuck did we have these for so long :(
>>4670482Most comic strips are. I like the ideas behind his stuff though. He was drawing 6 days a week and had to come up with amusing ideas, thoughts or scenarios. He had to reach from everyday experiences in order to keep the deadlines. >Trying to justify something being shitI just don't like to approach art critically. Are there Objectively funnier stuff out there? Of course. There's things i do enjoy more than others, obviously. You can use art to delve into someone else's thought process or develop the ideas further and i find Gary Larson's world and creations quite unique and distinctively enough so to make you enter that introspection. Just giving my 2 pesos
>>4670482When you're depressed, nothing is funny.Sorry kid.
>>4670466>I'm going to repostGood on ya, OP. Thank you! The quality on these is amazing.>>4670482>universally not funnyHere's your (You). Your bait universally sucks.
>The quality on these is amazingIts one of the reasons i saved them.
>>4670482Low IQ.
>>4670482They hated him for he spoke the truth.
>>4671146Don't tell me people hate Gary Larson now
>>4671146>>4671223>It's an old meme, but it checks out.No. He's saying that Gary Larson is Jesus.https://www.chick.com/products/tract?stk=0039https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/John-8-45/
>>4671294I just realized he was talking about the anon he was quoting. I'm a big fat retard
>>4671294>>4671325It's actually even funnier than that. Whoever inserted the quote into the Babble was plagiarizing it from Plato's Defense. I feel like this is, itself, sort of a Farside cartoon.> "And this, O men of Athens, is the truth and the whole truth; I have concealed nothing, I have dissembled nothing. And yet I know that this plainness of speech makes them hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth? - this is the occasion and reason of their slander of me, as you will find out either in this or in any future inquiry."Socrates, defending himself before the Court of Athens in 399 B.C., immediately prior to them sentencing him to death for two sets of accusations:• (i) asebeia (impiety) against the pantheon of Athens (by introducing new gods); and• (ii) corruption of Athenian youth (by teaching them to doubt the status quo).As recorded by his student, Plato (one of the "corrupted youth" for which Socrates was put to death). Even more ludicrously, Socrates was also accused of being an atheist while simultaneously being charged with introducing and believing in "new gods."• http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/apology.html• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Socrates• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology_(Plato)About 600 or 700 years later, the (well-documented and preserved) quote was re-written as the words of Jesus Himself, and inserted into the Bible in the passage John 8:45.
So Jesus was Plato all along?
>>4670482>Why the fuck did we have these for so longnepotism
>>4671223Looking at these and I don't find them funny, yet I don't hate them. If anything I am indifferent to Gary Larson.
>>4671438>About 600 or 700 years later, the (well-documented and preserved) quote was re-written as the words of Jesus Himself, and inserted into the Bible in the passage John 8:45.The "classic" authors, and mainstream history itself were all faked in the past few centuries. The only thing authentic is the Bible. Ignorant hellbound midwits like you are ngmi.
>>4673088You know this isn't the first thing i read about this but i need some hard evidence about it. It wouldn't surprise me, but at this point this is just 9/11 was a holograph
>>4673090>>4673453>>4673455These are funny
>>4670482He did like 5,000 cartoons and he was the first one to admit that they weren't all gems. He even made cartoons about it. Bump.
>>4671045this one's good
>>4672905this one's good
>this genuinely made boomers shit and piss themselves in hysterical laughter>le wrong generation goobers ITT literally forcing themselves to laugh and pretend these are funnyDownright bizarre
>>4674062Faggots suck cocks don't they zoom zoom?
>>4673014>Looking at these and I don't find them funny,Put it down to poster's choices. These aren't among those I'd have chosen.So the next task is to find the mother lode of his works, and pick the good ones.
>>4674062This post right here would have made a good Farside cartoon.>>4673967This.>>4673014Keep in mind, the cartoons posted in this thread are a very small selection of extremely hi-res Sunday cartoons. And, frankly, I get it that not all of them are funny, but saying >>4670482> "They're like universally not funny. "is vastly too harsh.First, many of them are quite funny. But, beyond that, Farside was never intended to be funny always. Sometimes it was just intended to weird for the sake of being weird and making your thinking process skip a beat or two. There were a whole slew of such cartoons, such as Bizarro and Red Meat and (the grandfather of them all) The Addams Family.> tl;dr -- lighten up, people>touch grass> learn to laugh

>>4678832no more brother wars>>4680421This are great
>>4680433*these
Whoever thought this was going to end well ....
First of all, thank you OP for making this thread. This is my first time seeing Gary Larson's work so I enjoyed going through them, will definitely keep collecting these.Secondly, what the fuck is going on in this thread with these retarded non sequitur replies? Is this some esoteric autism that I'm not getting? I tried to follow some discussions: 1) this anon >>4671146 compares the author to Jesus using the famous saying (?) and another anon >>4671294 tries to explain the whole thing but then someone else tries to continue conversation how that quote is a plagiarism from Plato. All in all 10/10 good read (a bit retarded but whatever). 2) This interaction >>4674062 >>4674406 gave me aneurysm, so thanks for that. 3) Then "Υarg υikernes" strolls in, says "They hated AH" (for some reason) and gets replied by complete nonsensical "no more brother wars" (???) and finally we get anon saying "Whoever thought this was going to end well ...." for whatever the fuck reason and here I am trying to analyze and link together these rat king of a retardation. Now onto more important things: >>4675383>So the next task is to find the mother lode of his works, and pick the good ones.I found bunch of shit by Larson over at libgen so I will post some of the pictures that I found interesting and decide to extract. If you guys want to look for yourself, I strongly advice checking out libgen.lc shadow library (but be cautious, because it might redirect you to other websites that are adware, but the website itself is safe to download from). I will provide links to several books:1. aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ucm9ja3MvZ2V0LnBocD9tZDU9NjM2OTZjZWZlNTU2NWVmZGY0MzdkYWVhOGYwMzM5YmQ=2. aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ucm9ja3MvZ2V0LnBocD9tZDU9MmVkMDlkZTc0MGRlNzU5ZjNhNDRjMjMxMmEwM2ZlOGI=3. aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ucm9ja3MvZ2V0LnBocD9tZDU9YzlkMWI3MzhjMTYxZTU1NzJlNDA4N2ZkODI5MDEzZGE=4. aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ubGMvZWRpdGlvbi5waHA/aWQ9MjAwMjAyNow I will post several cartoons.
>>4671438Quite an interesting read anon.>>4673088This reply was pretty retarded though, pulled that "faked history" part right out of his ass
>>4670482It seems to me that you come here on /hr and collect stuff just for the sake of collecting them.Some anons here have also, in my opinion, misunderstood the purpose of these cartoons. For me they are not supposed to be funny, rather they could also be thought provoking and doubt invoking. There are like koans or haiku (from Eastern Asian poetry) of Western art. This anon >>4670495 put it quite well.
In one of the files I also found several cartoons in the series of "Wiener dog art" that Gary Larson created which mimic the style several famous artists or that of famous era in art.
>>4682534
>>4682535
>>4682537
>>4682538
>>4682541
>>4682542
>>4682544This will be all from me, I just realized that these last few pictures from the "Wiener dog art" series might be a little off topic (although they are still Gary Larson's) but I found it interesting so I thought I would share anyways. If you guys are interested in posting more pictures of Larson's far side, just go over to libgen and go through all the files if you have time (I myself didn't, that's why I only posted a few). Just close the redirection window and download the file from the website itself, then use calibre e-book viewer to extract pictures from the file itself. Here are search results on two websites:Libgen.rs (which is safer than .lc because it doesn't redirect): aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ucnMvc2VhcmNoLnBocD9yZXE9R2FyeStsYXJzb24mbGdfdG9waWM9bGliZ2VuJm9wZW49MCZ2aWV3PXNpbXBsZSZyZXM9MjUmcGhyYXNlPTEmY29sdW1uPWRlZg==and Libgen.lc (it redirects, but the website itself is safe for use and downloads):aHR0cHM6Ly9saWJnZW4ubGMvaW5kZXgucGhwP3JlcT1HYXJ5K0xhcnNvbiZjb2x1bW5zJTVCJTVEPXQmY29sdW1ucyU1QiU1RD1hJmNvbHVtbnMlNUIlNUQ9cyZjb2x1bW5zJTVCJTVEPXkmY29sdW1ucyU1QiU1RD1wJmNvbHVtbnMlNUIlNUQ9aSZvYmplY3RzJTVCJTVEPWYmb2JqZWN0cyU1QiU1RD1lJm9iamVjdHMlNUIlNUQ9cyZvYmplY3RzJTVCJTVEPWEmb2JqZWN0cyU1QiU1RD1wJm9iamVjdHMlNUIlNUQ9dyZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9bCZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9YyZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9ZiZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9YSZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9bSZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9ciZ0b3BpY3MlNUIlNUQ9cyZyZXM9MjUmZmlsZXN1bnM9YWxs

>>4686710>Thanks all for contributingHappy to, OP. Thank you for sharing what you have. The quality is just stunning.For all the people complaining about Farside ... it's just Dad jokes, FFS.
>>4687722Yeah. Hope whoever was scanning them continues and post them. I have 320
>>4688439>I have 320So far.
>>4682522I am pretty sure that anon >>4671146 was saying these aren't actually good and other anons hated >>4670482 for saying it.
>>4682524>"faked history"sadly not out of HIS ass. I have several "gems" of the so-called "alternate history" that I could post if not for the fact most of the pics are too small and the topic off-topic for this thread, but this should suffice for example. This comes from an alternate history mueum in Russia. I fucking kid you not.
>>4682522>non sequitur repliesThe non sequitur of it all is farside bantz. But, yeah, some of that shit upthread is retarded.I've been thinking a bit about Socrates and Jesus. It finally occurred to me that the whole "hated him for he spoke the truth" meme could in fact have been a direct quote of Jesus. The phrase may have been a well-known meme of the time just because it was made so famous by Socrates. It wasn't plagiarism per se. It was the "social media" of the time period.

>>4693367You're a crackpot denying the wonder and texture of God's creation and his plan.
>>4703032It's not too late to accept Almighty Atheismo as your savior
>>4670482I think stupid people like it because it reflects on the kind of difficulty that they experience in life. Smart people can't relate.
>>4671093Their mouths look soooo fuckable.
Did Larson not know how to draw black people?
>>4704867No one in their sane mind likes black people, anon. Why do you think they are always killing each other and black women are the number 1 buyer of blond hair dye?
>>4693367you realize you are poking fun at a museum promoting fake history by sprouting fake history yourself, right?

>>4706561>I think stupid people like it because it reflects on the kind of difficulty that they experience in life.Exactly as I said.
>>4710540Actually made me laugh hard
>>4670482Nothing has made me prouder to be a life-long lover of Gary Larson's works than to see a bunch of virgin incels from 4chan not 'getting it'. To be damned by the devil, especially when they are a whiny, milquetoast, impotent hypocritically bitching about not getting their martyr complex fast enough....to be damned by such devils is to be truly blessed. Thank you for such a fine compliment to the excellent comedy of Mr Larson.

This thread has been absolutely fantastic.
Do you do have the one with a couple looking out of their living room window, and out there are just grand pianos falling from the sky? Something like "I'm glad I'm not out in the field today". Like they cannot grasp the insanity of what is happening, only that it does not seem to affect them at present

>>4682534> Gary Larson knew that "paleolithic art" was all faked.Just like the rest of official history.
>>4684120This one was my introduction to the Far Side as a kid.My dad was a pilot and this was printed on his favorite coffee cup, for whatever reason it really got me as an eight year old so he bought me a collection of the strips.In retrospect it definitely warped my sense of humor in a bit of an odd way but I wouldn't trade it.

>>4670482Yeah I know some of them are kinda not super funny, but it sounds like his absurdist humor isn't really your thing and that's ok. I think part of why I liked his work was I got exposed to it as a kid. I clearly have nostalgia goggles on, but I hope you find at least some of his work funny. Old cartoons were old, they were different times. Just like how Jim Carrey and "the mask" were a huge hit in the 90s and watching them today, they really did not age well.
