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).

Pretty sure everyone came around eventually. Hard to believe it was so embraced at the time. Sort of the opposite of a cult following.
Dolores is bloodthirsty. Coincidentally her favorite movie is Milo & Otis.
I didn't like it, I just thought it was boring as fuck except for the buffalo.
They should definitely make more all-buffalo movies. I don't know what the hell is wrong with Hollywood.
You're not gonna get that kind of movie in Hollywood. Maybe try upstate New York?
