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 always hear the same thing. He's the sweetest dog ever. He would never hurt a fly.
And it's always true until one day it just isn't. My cousin's large dogs would always growl and threaten my husband (who is admittedly nervous around dogs). Every fucking holiday it was the same thing after one of the dogs corners him. "He never does this." Except every year, he does.
One of those dogs finally snapped one day. No humans were physically injured that day, but two people - including a young child had to witness it. We think she doesn't remember, thankfully.
very sad outcome for another pet
One of their smaller dogs was attacked and killed by the Rottie. They had him put down as well after that.I fully blame idiot cousin Jimmy and his idiot wife, but crap.
