Once I ran with scissors, tripped and fell face down. The scissors landed handle side down, splayed open with the edges of both blades pressed against my jugulars as I fell into them. Luckily they were dull AF and I didn’t fall hard. I have never and will never ever run with scissors again.

Once I carried a ginormous pair of scissors to the room where we keep our cat’s bowls so that I could cut open the food bags. As I walked out, the hand holding the scissors bumped into the doorframe, driving the blades into my gut. Fortunately, there was discomfort, but no penetration. “Phew!” thought I; “I’ll be more careful next time I’m carrying these scissors.”

Anyway, on my way out of the cat room, the exact same thing happened in reverse. Since then, I haven’t handled those scissors, nor inadvertently stabbed myself with any others.

I’m no furniture designer, but I feel like the ladder portion of that chair should be in front, not on the side.

Plot twist: The chair isn’t even connected to the platform

i like how the speaking characters are hidden off to the side rather than being the focus point. it makes this strip so much more interesting.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
