Larson’s art style was as baffling as the jokes. So, while you might be all OK Boomer right now, it was actually a Boomer who created the first memes. While Garfield complained about Mondays and Dagwood took a nap, The Far Side made jokes about world annihilation, vegetarian cannibals and cows… so many cows. It was like an online meme – only original and better looking. The jokes were fast and often abstract, and you either “got it” or you didn’t. It delivered a quick daily jolt of clever, absurdist humor that confused and delighted. It ran in newspapers from Decemuntil January 1, 1995.
The Far Side was a single panel comic created by Gary Larson.
