10 Far Side Comics That Have Aged Perfectly

By Ambrose Tardive – ScreenRant

It has been thirty years since The Far Side ended, and forty-five since it began – and Gary Larson comics have not only stood the test of time, but in many cases, have gotten even funnier with time. This list takes a look back at some memorable panels that have only grown in esteem over the years, from the iconic to the underappreciated.

Certainly, some of The Far Side’s more topical references – which might have been hit-or-miss even at the time of the cartoon’s initial publication – and its more over-the-top references have grown increasingly obscure with age, but many more of Larson’s jokes have aged like fine wine.

Exploring the distinction between the two is a great way to learn more about what made The Far Side a fan-favorite, and why its legacy has continued to gain renown in the decades since Larson retired from cartooning in 1995.
