It always kills me how he puts massive rumps on every character

transmatrix, in 24 January 2024

I don’t get it. Is this a reference to people doing finger pistols?

lugal,

I barely get any jokes on this community. I guess I’m missing context or something

I don’t think you are, really.

There are a lot of references to stuff people in the 80s and 90s would be familiar with. But a lot is just absurd as well.

I think this one is more on the absurd end of the spectrum.

Kraven_the_Hunter,

It’s pure absurdism. The guy’s brain just works different. Some of it’s genius, some is quirky, and some is like this.

ninja,

In a previous era of bomber aircraft there were positions throughout the plane that were manned machine gunners. One such weapon position in the very front, or nose, of the aircraft was referred to as the nose gun. It’s a pun.

Hawke,

I think it’s riffing on “handguns”

Wow, the political implications of this are staggering…

Dude has 5 coconuts left in the world, so he’ll sacrifice at least one just to hurt the other guy - unless I am missing some other connotation? (the only other thing I can come up with is that he’ll gamble on those, just to get access to the other +2)

Yup, Boomer humor for sure.

Blum0108,

You’re overthinking it, Bud

ITypeWithMyDick,

Yeah he is gonna make a hammock and is smiling cause he knows how great it will be to sleep in. Mabe his friend will come over and hang out with him too.

Squirrelsdrivemenuts,

Or he’s going to sling himself across so they finally have some company

OpenStars,
@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

To eat the other guy? :-P

test113,

Some would say this is an analogy on how Israel looks at Palestine, even though they already have the better side with the help of top-notch (ACME) weapons from outside (a sling, maybe because of the implications of the David and Goliath story?). Others say he’s horny and wants to fling himself directly onto the other. I’m with the horny camp 100%.

OpenStars,
@OpenStars@startrek.website avatar

Dudes being horny? Never heard of that happening before but anything is possible I guess, especially in a cartoon!?:-P

I think maybe he just wants to cuddle - sometimes you just want some touch:-).

What an asshole . Get of the horse and walk you shit . You don’t deserve that horse.

INB4 A comment tells me it isn’t real and i shouldn’t lose my shit yea i know it isn’t real but that’s the point of art.

pineapplelover, in 15 January 2024

I’m confused. What’s the joke?

bionicjoey,

I think it’s that it’s a “disabled” space since the bug is missing some legs

Evia,
@Evia@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t even see it as a joke. lol disabled people? What am I missing here?

synae,

“what if centipedes had parking lots”

Evia,
@Evia@lemmy.world avatar

Well yeah but why is that funny?

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s funny because centipedes don’t need parking lots lol

TeryVeneno,

It’s just funny because of the absurdity of centipede parking lots. Nothing much else to it, the ridiculousness is enough.

Evia,
@Evia@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, okay, thanks for explaining

pineapplelover,

Ahh I didn’t even notice the amount of legs

XTornado,

To me the size of the sign confused me, I didn’t think it was a parking space that part.

StrongHorseWeakNeigh,

    But if they did, this would still be a ridiculous handicapped parking spot.

    One of my favorites. Cubicle worthy.

    Davel23, in 4 January 2024

    Not sure if it's intentional, but your Far Side posts for the past couple of days have been dated 2023.

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    OP is just flexing the time machine they got for Christmas.

    The_Picard_Maneuver, in Starting 2024 off right!
    @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

    These are the best. I should pick one up for this year.

    I heard a great podcast on the origins of the cultural trope of Davy Crocket as a Disney invention.

    Cold_Brew_Enema, in 25 December 2023

    I thought comics were supposed to be humorous.

    snowsuit2654,
    @snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I think it’s funny. There’s an American trope of young boys getting a Davy Crockett hat for Christmas. The joke is that this is the first time it happened, with the actual hat of Davy Crockett.

    @MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works avatar

    I LOLed at this much harder than I expected.

    platypus_plumba,

    I’m understanding like 50% of these. At the risk of killing the joke, could you explain?

    if_only, in 13 December 2023

    When my parents tried to pull that line I just said “great, give it to them.”

    bionicjoey, in 8 December 2023

    I love the sheer number of TFS comics that are just “what if people, but animals?”

    The neon sign should be reversed when viewed from inside. Larson probably got bags of mail about that one.
