      That’s the relevance and context of this comic strip, when it was first published in the 80’s people hadn’t heard of bungee jumping nor did it exist as far as I know, but people did see Nat Geo’s documentaries.

      That is super hardcore. Definitely a lot of trust in those vines!

        Yeah, and the person measuring them. It would totally suck to be the tall one of the tribe…

      Holy shit! I wonder if those vines are more dynamic than they appear.

    I remember meticulously measuring the vines for this comic.

        And there’s the whole matter of the giant tree next to it.

    The way the wines are tied, he’ll smash right into the tree

      No he won’t. He’ll hit the ground head first before that. The vine would need to be shorter to swing him into the tree.

        Is that the joke or am I tired?

        Also the vines would glide down a bit on the branches if they were shorter I bet ^^

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!
