One of the few cases where the text isn’t needed, but provided.

ZOSTED,

Was about to say.

Gary Larson is usually great about leaving the reader to connect the dots. Could’ve had a piece of airplane wreckage labelled “Canary” or something.

Okay, what is the point of posting comics from 40 years ago?

Its not even an iconic author!

Bob_Robertson_IX,

You’re joking right? Gary Larson is a very iconic author and was hugely influential.

ArcaneSlime,

Its not even an iconic author!

Are you fucking high lmao?

One of my favorites. Cubicle worthy.

Maybe he had one of those ties that have musical notes on them, and got curious (and careless)…

OlinOfTheHillPeople,

Oh boy… This is gonna get worse before it gets better…

I feel like this could really benefit from some text below it. It’s great as-is, I just think there’s room for another chuckle.

I love that Larson could make this joke with or without the twist on Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Like, it would feel just as much a Far Side comic if her name were Nancy and she had been followed by a duck.

Ashyr,

That’s such a great point.

OlinOfTheHillPeople,

I like that the TV is on the floor. >!Although that wasn’t that rare in the 80s.!<

limelight79,

Console television.

Sotuanduso,

Nancy had a little duck.

Whose feathers glistened yellow,
Everywhere that Nancy went,
The duck was sure to follow.

Inb4 the “don’t get it” gang: It’s “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

Oh dear, I still don’t get it

THE_ANON,

Its a kid poem

@stom@lemmy.world avatar

I had to look it up to remember it fully, and now I get it.

Mary had a little lamb
It’s fleece was black as coal, yeah
Everywhere the child went
That little lamb was sure to go, yeah

platypus_plumba,

Why is the sheep white then? WHY?

nilloc, (edited )

The version I grew up with was “it’s fleece was white as snow”, not black as coal.

Which also rhymes better with “sure to go”

intensely_human,

Undercover

LemmyKnowsBest,

here are the correct relevant words to the song/nursery rhyme:

Mary had a little lamb

Its fleece was white as snow

everywhere that Mary went

her lamb was sure to go

Without zooming in, I thought that was her husband.

Agent641,

Omg yes, unless you zoom in, the sheep just looks like a dude

65gmexl3,
@65gmexl3@lemmy.world avatar

Or maybe a dude in a sheep’s clothing

The one time he over explains a joke and it’s pretty much ruined.

nilloc, in 10 January 2024

This one’s subtle, but effective.

cucumber_sandwich, (edited )

Explain!

Edit: is it the poodle?

Donkter,

Is pood

Of course, the one time you actually need them to bark, they stay completely quiet.
