Well, I say that Mr. C also pretty much grew up on The Far Side, and that may help explain some things with both of us.

But, there’s also this!

In case Translate isn’t working for anyone on Wikipedia:

There are a bunch of those around here somewhere. I’m pretty sure this particular issue is one of them.

But yeah, seems like the series may have been pretty popular there, if a Far Side themed translated compilation series ran for that long.

(There also seem to be more than a few mixed translated newspaper comics series going. He also has more than a few Far Side books in English, which everybody there has to learn standard. But, I would imagine that the translated complilations are particularly handy for kids and other people who aren’t as fluent. He got started on those, and kept buying several series.)

Anyway, I had to get amused at the whole LARSON! title choice. Certainly a recognizable name, and maybe they added the enthusiastic punctuation to try and avoid confusion with some other Larson 😅

a verbal description of a far side comic is indistinguishable from a fine shitpost

far side comics are just visual shitposts

It’s rare that I come across a post about the Far Side.

God I love the Far Side. I used to have a calendar of the comics and my dad had a bunch of books. They’re great.

I LOVE The Far Side. I have the complete hardbound collection, and it’s a treasure

I have so many of the collections including the hardbound full collection. They are all gold

There isn’t currently, but the comic has really taken off in popularity in Japan, so we’re holding out hope for an official English version. If any news shows up on that front, I’ll definitely share it here!
