    One of, if not the most, popular comics of his.

    This comic has lived rent free in my head for pretty much my whole 30 years of life.

        Did you also have a Wayne’s World shirt, and a “Red Hot SILLY Peppers” shirt? (This guy had some cool shirts now that I think about it.)

          No, sadly I am not that cool. Hence the gifted program

      Every time I do this in real life or see a door with the wrong label on it I think of this comic!

    Love this. “Midvale School For The Gifted” has been my go-to example of irony.

    What’s the joke? I know that a supposedly gifted child is using the door wrong but there should be more to it, right?

      Nope, it’s a simple mismatch, funny because it would be unexpected.

      That is indeed the joke, as far as know. Though I wonder if the artist was aware that the closing mechanism would usually be on the other side…

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
