Cows standing around in field smoking and chatting. One of them yells "CAR!" and they all start grazing like regular cows. I think of it every time I drive by a field of grazing cattle.

Yeah, I miss him.

Default Yes, I would like a knuckle sandwich

A space alien with a lizard tail is wearing a trench coat and a fedora hat and standing in a dark alley opposite two beefy looking thugs with their hands balled into fists.
The alien says in the caption, in broken English, "Why..yes, I ...would..like..a....knuckle ...sandwich"

Another one. Two grotesquely ugly people with these marty feldman bulging eyes are looking at each other at a party full of normal people.
The caption "from across the room, their eyes meant".

I LOVED The Far Side! I was very disappointed when Gary Larson retired but he was so clever - it did have to be exhausting to keep up a daily cartoon. I still see his work in greeting cards and they still make me laugh....I needed that - Thanks.

The Far Side was the best comic strip ever.

"Of course I did it in cold blood you idiot, I'm a reptile."
"trichanosis be damned" the wolves watching the pigs
the crow flying with the spatula
The snake in the crib with a huge lump in it.
Bummer of a birth mark--deer with a target on his chest
What's gotten into the Lazy-boy--the couch cutting grass.
The monster snorkle

etc, etc
Hysterical

Loved "The reason dinosaurs became extinct" mentioned earlier.

Also liked the man talking to his son in their fenced off back yard "Most of the lower species mark their territory"

I loved the Dinosaur one, too, but a few of my other faves:
Rusty makes his move:
Rusty the dog sprays his mouth with Dog Breath as he prepares to make the moves on the lady poodle.

What dogs hear:
Ginger the dog gets into the garbage and is yelled at by her master, but all she hears is:
Ginger!
*^%&$(#@&%(^)
&@($&*%*^(^^)
Ginger!


Last, the one about the names we give dogs.
The guy introduces his dog to his neighbor as Rex.
Rex greets the neighbor's dogs and solemnly intones his title, which is Vexor, Destroyer of Cats and Devourer of Chickens. The other dogs who are meeting Rex have similar drawn-out monkers, such as Barker of Great Annoyance.
Classic!

The Lone Ranger learns the true meaning of 'kemosabe'.

and

The one where the devil is pointing to two doors and telling the new arrival to choose one. The signs on the doors read "Damned if you do" and "Damned if you dont".

Split panel, people lined up at the afterlife. Top one: "Welcome to Heaven---Here's your harp." Botton one, "Welcome to Hell. Here's your accordion."
