I loved them as a kid too and it’s been pretty hit or miss so far. I will say that I remember the comic got much better after the first year or two. Not sure if I’ll still feel that way now and we have a ways to go as we’re still in the first year.
The date is when they’re posted on thefarside.com, not the original publish date. They post 5 on weekdays and 2 on weekend days and that’s what I post.
