10 Hilarious Far Side Comics About Stressful Parenting

By Paola Villacis – CBR.com

Parents often guest-starred in The Far Side. Mostly, they are seen worrying about some odd and absurd situation their child has placed themselves in or in a pitiful scene that makes readers sorry for them. The Far Side features mothers as careful and nervous characters who always have their hands by their hips or are experiencing some form of horror because of their children. On the other hand, fathers are hilariously unaware, uncaring, and detached from their parenting roles. Where Larson gave mothers the well-known instinct to parent children, fathers were handed the children and allowed space to make it a hilarious panel.
