The Far Side is an incredibly iconic comic strip, most notable for its witty humor delivered through a minimal number of panels, usually just a single image per “strip.” Creator Gary Larson relied heavily on universal experiences and wordplay and often leaned well into the absurd for his Far Side comics. Despite being a few decades old, The Far Side comics have aged quite well compared to other comic strips from their era.
Newspapers were far from the only place fans found Larson’s clever Far Side cartoons. Office cubicles and walls were often adorned with Far Side comic strips clipped from newspapers or page-a-day calendars. The Far Side’s most famous panels have been seen on merchandise of all kinds, while collectors have plenty of books cataloging the expansive history of the published comics to collect. Long-time and new readers alike are enjoying The Far Side well into the 20th century, with the potential to extend its legacy for decades.
The Far Side creator Gary Larson often enjoyed exploring theological conundrums in his comics, using God and the Devil to illustrate these issues in many panels. In this comic strip, the Devil is guiding a man through Hell and forcing him to choose between two doors marked “Damned if you do” and “Damned if you don’t.” Dramatizing commonly heard expressions like this was one of many approaches to humor that made the strips relatable to a broader base.
