The spiders spinning a huge web at the bottom of a slide in a playground. One spider looks at the other and says "If we pull this off, we eat like kings!"

I think this was one of his... All you see is a camera on a tripod going "click", and the edge of a cliff sheered away attached by a small fence, and a couple of waving hands in the air. The title on the bus in the background is "weight watchers group" or something like that.

The real reason dinosaurs became extinct !!

I love The Far Side and think of that particular one is a classic.

My favorite:

The dog is hanging out the window of the car talking to a dog behind a fence:

Ha Ha Ha Biff. Guess what! After we go to the drug store and the post office I'm going to the vet's to be tutored.

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

LoL, there was a cat one too...old lady is calling for Fluffy..."Fluffy" is in another room, clawing into the was "my name is Spike"

All the animals of the forest remember where they were when they heard that Bambi's mother was shot.

Mom telling Jr to go to sleep or else she'll knock 3 times to summons "the floating head of death", Dad is outside the window holding the string of a balloon with an evil face drawn on.

We could go on ALL DAY! good stuff!

God is making the world in a kitchen with all the ingredients. And he says "just to make it interesting" as he takes a bottle of jews and spinkles them over the globe.

My favorite hung on my fridge for years until it yellowed and I had to take down.

Two huge Brontosaureses grazing in a field. One calls over to the other..."Ethel! Over here! I swear, peas the size of your brain!"

I'm giggling just remembering it.

But it was a picture of a cat in the window with a smoking gun, and there was a dead bird laying out in the yard.

The cat turns to his shocked owner and says, "What was I supposed to do? I've been declawed!"

Now THAT one is on my fridge forever...

It sure SEEMED like his sense of humor...

The blablablabla Ginger was a favorite because we had a golden named Ginger at that time.

Another with the Golden and other dogs in a car going on a picnic and the Golden calls for a vote about eating all the food now.

Best to me was the man with the elephant gun in a busy city. Dead elephant in the street, and the wife says "Harry, I will never ever make fun of you carrying that elephant gun"
