I hate when they do this.

They never call in advance, and always show up when I'm about to leave.

And then they want to stay and eat, and I can't give them what I already had taken out of the freezer because it has gluten, or lactose, or whatever they can't eat today, so I have to throw it away and rush out to buy something they can eat, and cook it, and whatnot.

It's not that I don't like them, mind, but the least they could do is call the day before or earlier so I could organise and get everything ready. 😤

This is the first far side joke I haven’t gotten. Can someone help me out?

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

Its nonsensical for its own sake. I find it funny, but it absolutely is just uh, being. Existing.

The gag is the nonchalant attitude everyone, including the thousands of exotic insects, has in their comfortable suburban routine.

Also, if the thousand of insects were staying, that woman would have to make a lot of coffee. Otherwise, what other people said since I was struggling myself.

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!
