    Once again The Farside proving to be unbelievably based commenting on ocean waste in 1985.

    I hate to be Buzz Killington, but sharks track the scent of blood, not sight.

        How is that the joke? Nothing indicates they’re going off of anything other than visuals.

          Anyone who has ever read the farside knows that most of the jokes are puns, absurd, or both.

          Anyone who is aware of how sharks hunt will immediately know the joke is absurd.

          Anyone who knows that things dilute in water would know that you wouldn’t see a three mile visual trail of ketchup, so that is clearly absurd.

          Anyone who knows any of these three things should know this particular comic’s punchline is based on absurdist humor.

      It’s funny because you’re wrong. Sharks do not track the “scent” of blood.

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!
