    So many of these are just not funny. I don’t get it. I remember Far Side being somewhat funny. Overwhelmingly, the one’s I’m seeing here are not.

      Larson had to draw 5 to 7 cartoons per week for 15 years. They’re not all of going to be winners. The classic great ones are but a small percentage of his overall body of work.

      I’m assuming the 1997 in your name is your birth year.

      If that’s correct, Larson stopped this comic quite a while before you were born.

      You live in a very different world from the people that this comic was written for.

        Good to see all this support for your incorrect assumption. Good to know.

        I opened the newspaper daily to his comics in the 90s. He retired 1995. Even if my birthday was 97 that’s not “a while before I was born”.

        I think there doesn’t have to be a reason why someone would find this unfunny.
