    What the hell are they riding? Horses don’t have split hooves. Cows? Weird camels?

      The Alamo. It’s a fort in San Antonio, Texas that was under siege by the Mexican army and the troops inside held out for several days. The rallying cry was, “Remember the Alamo.”

        To share a bit more because people think it was “good”, the Battle of the Alamo was specifically because “About one hundred Texians, wanting to defy Mexican law and maintain the institution of chattel slavery in their portion of Coahuila y Tejas by seeking secession from Mexico, …” (emphasis mine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Alamo

          Yeah. Also, the Alamo itself (what’s left of it) is underwhelming. It’s like a 10 minute visit, if I remember correctly.

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!
