| I had completely forgotten about the Far Side. Yes, I do miss it for certain. |

| Well, yes, but it has been gone for what . . . 25 years?

| The comic captured my sense of humor perfectly. I too purchased the calendar and many of the books. I thought it was great. No comic has ever come close to being that good. A funny comic can make you smile. The Far Side often got a full on laugh out of me. |

Live for today. Tomorrow will cost more
| Yes... and no. The Far Side5 panels every weekday / 2 panels every weekend day / a weekly collection, and occasionally some honest-to-goodness new stuff. **Edited to add - I gotta type faster.** NOCkid beat me to it.

| I loved the Far Side. I have four of the books, there is some funny shit in there. Another great one was Calvin and Hobbes.
