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).

Considering the folks at the bottom have swords and shields, it looks like the purple person (top right) was struck by someone behind him with very bad aim.

As someone that plays Chivalry 2 often, this happens more than I'd care to admit. Fucking archers!

Especially since if he was standing up, it wouldn't be possible for an attacker to get an arrow in him in that direction anyway

Except it is upside down, should be the other way round if you’re climbing the ladder
