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!

Maybe if they paid Vernon better he could afford the higher quality ones

Gary Larson and Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit) both give people butt holes (or suction cups) for mouths when they make an "ooo" sound.

He didn't even invest in a pocket protector. Do they still sell these?
