With The Far Side, Gary Larson excelled at providing a delightfully skewed perspectiveon familiar tropes and folk sayings, as exhibited in this panel, where two dogs superstitiously lament the breaking of a mirror as bad luck. The humor of the comic comes from the fact that – since dogs are said to age seven years for every human year – "Rusty" is in for nearly half a century's worth of suffering. "Bummer..." his canine cohort says, before working out the math, as the pair of hounds stand in...

In this panel, Gary Larson skillfully remixes a common problem for car owners, by depicting it as an issue for a sled-dog driver. "Egads...another flat!" the man on the sled cries out, as all the air has gone out of one of his dogs. What makes this panel especially brilliant are the contrasting looks on the other dog's faces, with the leader of the pack looking entirely indifferent, while the others stare at their deflated comrade in evident horror. The human on the sled, meanwhile, cries out...

"Keep your eye on that guy..." one butcher says to another in this strip, leaning on the deli counter and gesturing to a suspicious character in the foreground of the frame. "He hasn't said or bought a thing for over an hour." This is one of Gary Larson's signature multilayered jokes. The "guy" is in fact a dog, meaning he can't say anything. However, the suspicion the speaker treats him with is warranted, as the dog – wearing a trenchcoat, and hunched over in suspect posture – is certainly t...

Gary Larson often delivered Far Side panels that didn't need any words to be successful. Famously, Larson explained that The Far Side was designed to test his readers' "reflexes"– that is, to get an immediate reaction out of them. Rather than holding meaning to be deciphered, this panel is intended to make the audience go "What the?" In the cartoon, dogs dressed in human clothes pass the chalk outline of a dog on a city sidewalk. Rather than attempting to communicate something deeper beneath...
Dogs aren't always the most graceful animals, and their destructive behavior has spelled doom for many pieces of furniture over the years. The "Blow Up the House" panel shows off Larson's signature skill for exaggerationand makes it very clear what some people think about dogs in the house. The front lawn was often a scene that Larson returned to a...

Larson's impact on comedy can't be overstated, but some of his darkest Far Side panelsshow that his humor was a bit blacker than his contemporaries. Featuring two dogs talking, the "Tutored" panel is a thinker that ends with a sidesplitting punchline that says a lot about the trusting nature of dogs. Always looking on the bright side of life, the poor dog who's about to be snipped seems to think he's in for something good. Like a classic case of pride coming before the fall, the comic's true...

One of the oldest cartoon setups is the never-ending struggle between cats and dogs, and Larson used that premise to the fullest in Far Side. Set in a courtroom, the "Cat Killer?" comic is one that gets funnier the longer the reader takes to analyze it. Not only is the lawyer's impassioned plea hilarious, but it is made doubly so by the fact that he is preaching to a crowd exclusively composed of cats. As if that wasn't a perfect joke on its own, Larson really puts punctuation on the panel by...

According to Gary Larson, many Far Side comics started out as short stories, which he then "adapted" into comics. This panel feels like it may be an example of this – as it depictsthe aftermath of a dog's attempt to chase the President's limo, which has landed him in prison. "Why'd you do it, Biff?" a female dog asks. Like many of Gary Larson's best jokes, the set-up and punchline here are gleefully silly. Yet while many Far Side comics provoke readers to ask questions that have no answers, t...

Though dogs are heavenly creatures, Larson wasn't afraid to show the darker side of man's best friend, and he often tapped into the canine's deepest darkest fears. "Dog Hell" combined two of Larson's favorite musesin the form of the underworld and dogs, and he presents the reader with a unique vision of the bad half of the afterlife. Casting the dogs as mail carriers and cleaners, the iconic writer conjured up the perfect biblical punishment for the angelic species of pets. Of course, since d...
Any time Larson gave dogs the attributes of humans readers were in for a treat, and it was especially funny when their human-like behavior had a typically canine spin on it. Showing the lengths dogs will go to intimidate cats, the "Dog Threats" panel proves that even the toughest dog is still lovable. The note is a mish-mash of dog gibberishand the...

Oct 24, 2023 · But as time passes, some of these beloved cartoons have been forgotten, overshadowed by newer releases, or buried beneath the sands of time. So, let’s rediscover cartoons from the 2000s – the shows that made us laugh, cry, and believe in the magic of animated storytelling.
There are "cartoons" for adults too of course - Adult Swim-type things like Futurama, Archer, that are more like "adult" shows in terms of jokes and more complex stories than things like "Tom and Jerry."
Nov 6, 2014 · I used to watch a cartoon (in the 80s? 90s) where a man/dog character thing would laugh hysterically and another one always grumpy would do something silly, which would in turn make the other one laugh even more.
