Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to creator Gary Larson, his infamous newspaper comic The Far Side was designed to get a reaction out of the reader – even if the response wasn't always necessarily laughter. At times, The Far Side's humor shocked readers, while in many cases, it left them puzzled, unsure what to make of that day's panel. For Larson, as long as he got some kind of response, his cartoon had been successful.

12 "Dogaway" Helped Readers Acclimate To The Weirdness Of The Far Side First Published: January 31, 1980 Published just a month into The Far Side's run, this panel contains several elements Gary Larson would regularly return to over the years. In addition to featuring canines, the quixotic "Dogaway" panel is an early example of Larson's fascination with monsters.

10 Reading The Far Side Was Always A Matter Of Perspective First Published: March 17, 1980 The Far Side was most often comprised of a single panel; this entry represents one of Gary Larson's few attempts at playing with the more traditional "strip" format, depicting a sequence of moments. In this case, a crowd watches as man prepares to make an improbable dive into a tiny bucket of water – only to have a woman with a mop move the bucket just as he springs off the diving board.

8 The Far Side Subverted Readers' Expectations By Making The Strange Ordinary First Published: May 17, 1980 Sometimes readers' "What-the?" reflex was activated by a Far Side panel because it was confusing.

6 This Far Side Comic's Grizzled Sailor Has A Story To Tell First Published: July 30, 1980 Once again, the simplicity of the joke here – a hulking old sailor paying to ride the "Little Skipper" waterpark boat ride alongside a group of children – might lead readers to expect some more elaborate meaning lurking beneath the surface of this comic. Though that might not be the case, it is possible there is more to the tale of the sailor than made it into the panel.

4 The Far Side Depicted Its Share Of Unexpected Discoveries First Published: September 27, 1980 Far Side cartoons could at times be jarring, or achingly obvious; frequently, however, their humor was oblique. At times, it was subtle to the point of obscurity; or, as Gary Larson might put it, at the risk of receiving a non-reaction from readers.
