View Full Version : Favorite Far Side

I was just wondering if anyone here was a fan of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" and if they were, what their favorite strip was.
Mine was the one with the three fish standing on the table outside the tank, with a fire raging inside the tank under the water. The caption was, "Well thank god we all made it out in time, of course now we're equally screwed". What made it even funnier to me was the fact that one of the fish had on the old lady glassess.
I'm not sure how well this is going to translate to a message board, but it was worth a shot.
Failing that, did any of you guys ever see this Tales from the Far Side Movie (http://imdb.com/title/tt0109873/) or even know it existed? If you saw it, is it worth picking up?

I always remembered one with a guy yelling, "if there's anything I hate more than a big, stupid carrot, it's a big, stupid banana"...to a giant carrot and a giant banana.

A crowded room filled with normal looking human beings at a cocktail hour. Everything is normal..... except for two weird looking space aliens with tentacles. One on each side of the frame.
The caption read:
"Across a crowded room...their eyes somehow met"

Anatidaephobia: the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.
did any of you guys ever see this Tales from the Far Side Movie (http://imdb.com/title/tt0109873/) or even know it existed? If you saw it, is it worth picking up?
They're awesome! I have both of 'em and while there's a couple of slow parts in each, the quality of most of the skits and seeing Far Side animated is well worth it!! A definite "must get" for Far Side fans!! Two chubby-kids-wearing-glasses'-thumbs-up!!

i can't find the picture, but it was of a ruptured oil tanker spilling oil, the outline of a dead dragon covered in oil with the text "Tragedy stikes the land called Hanalei"
