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

I am native American and I have done exactly one rain dance in my life.
I was living in Texas at the time and I heard it was going to rain a little and being a dumb teenager I told my friends, "Hey check it out I'm going to do a rain dance" and I hooped around for a minute and called it quits.
So rather embarrassed but you know sometimes you just do shit to do shit whatever.
I figured what the hell, maybe they haven't seen the weather, maybe they'll think that I'm magic or something for just a moment.
It was the worst hail storm that town had had in 20 years.
Cars were dented, roofs were damaged, there were flash floods, nobody died that I'm aware of but there was a lot of property damage and I don't feel specifically responsible for it, but I do feel like it's more than a coincidence, like I pissed off some of my ancestors by doing that shit and I haven't done it since.
Don't do it again...
😉
I might try it if there's a drought just for the heck of it
Worst drought on record here. Can you do a remote dance?
Something tells me it doesn't work that way...
Fuck it, can you bring the apocalypse so we can get it over with?
Do it again...
😈
