This is the first one I've read that feels over explained. I think this would be funnier if it didn't have the "when birds don't read" text.

Honestly, that part made me laugh harder. It's funny without it for sure. But the idea of these feckless birds who could have avoided all of that if they'd just taken the time to read the damn label makes it so much sillier.

Now I'm giggling at the thought of feckful birds.

Ah yes, illiterate birds. As opposed to birds who can read.

Maybe they can read and wished to start all over again from the egg.

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!
