However,the same can not be said about the birds displayed in this particular panel.

Honestly, not the worst way to avoid a fire, at least for someone who can’t fly.

It’s one of thoseFar Sidecomics to have you shoutingat the page.

Scientists from The Far Side.

Somehow, going in knowing what to expect only amplifies that fear.

Somehow,these two failed to see that knowledge.

Honestly, being blissfully unaware might be the better option in this case.

This is the kind of decision that has befallen many victims in horror movies.

The warning signs were all staring them in the face.

Doctors don’t prescribe jokes to their patients for a reason.

Far Side, wide-eyed and wide-smiled man (foreground, color) a therapist and a crocodile patient (background.)

They offer pills, creams, ointments, vaccinations, tools like inhalers, etc.

This patient would rather kick their doctor out of a window than to be studied by him any longer.

That’s probably a sign that the doctor was the oneinducing the emotional stress on the patient.

The comic goes to show that rocket science can behard even for actual rocket scientists.

Doctors laughing at patient in the Far Side.

Sometimes, weirdness doesn’t need an answer.

Weird can speak for itself, especially when the answer is probably weirder than the question posed.

Children don’t want to hear about all the weirdness their parents were getting into in the ’60s.

The Far Side, scientists test whether or not animals can kiss

It’s best to be ignorant of it.

When it comes toThe Far Side’s most ignorant souls, cavemen always take the cake.
