Throughout the 1980s and ’90s, The Far Side provided laughs to a wide audience with its surrealist humor and pointed commentary on human behavior. Creator Gary Larson used a wide array of characters in his Far Side cartoons, but one favorite subject of The Far Side was animals. The Far Side employed all kinds of animals, particularly cows, for which it became known, but it also often used pets, including the internet’s favorite type of animal, cats.
The Far Side was often not kind to its feline characters. Dogs in The Far Side were portrayed as loyal but dim-witted. In contrast, cats in The Far Side are usually portrayed as being the victims of their natural enemies, dogs. When The Far Side wasn’t making cats into victims, it was usually commenting on some of the cats’ more unusual behaviors. Either way, cats appear in some of the best Far Side cartoons ever created.
In common usage, “curiosity killed the cat” is a warning to people that if they look into something too closely, it might negatively affect them. However, in typical The Far Side fashion, the situation is far more absurd. Rather than engaging in typical cat behavior, the cats in this Far Side comic apparently died thanks to engaging in scientific study.
