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

And not a representative from the human race to be found around Mother Nature showing any concerning whatsoever. Well done, Mister Larson.
What does it say that Mother Nature is shown as a human, tho?
Perhaps that only humans are able to perceive mother nature as a concept, and thus project humanity onto her.
Well I've met lots of otherkin who can understand mother nature as a concept.
I think she should be portrayed as a bee. Bees are the classic example of symbiosis, representing the harmony of nature's systems. Their winter stockpiling behaviour also demonstrates the cycle of the seasons, and they're rather unique in being the single least violent animal species. They don't even hurt the plants they eat. Even herbivores treat plants with violence, but bees are in perfect harmony with their natural environment. They're not violent by nature, but they're capable of violence when driven to it, and also capable of cooperating with those inside and outside the species. Bees are the coolest animal and mother nature should be a bee.
That heart rate, it's all systolic and no diastolic. She's got bumps but no thumps!
This is why I cant watch nature documentaries any more.
You too? I used to love them. Grew up on them. The worst part you'd see was when the lion got the gazelle, but you'd think 'well the lion has to eat too'.
Now all of them end with 'and numbers are on the decline... Their habitat is shrinking... The ice is breaking away... They're being hunted to extinction'.
I can't swallow the bitterness.
Of course the tree has glasses
I mean, how else would we know where it's eyes are?
Well yeah, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Seems the trees reciprocate.
Oh god if she was on life support in 1990, how is she doing today?
Like the Emperor from warhammer but we using animals instead.
Don't worry, we've copied her genetic material, we can probably reconstruct her later.
It's a damn good thing we took notice and fixed the issue.... oh wait.
yeah people acting like the current initiatives are finally taking note... dude we knew 30+ years ago...
She’s even got an NG tube, must be pretty bad
You're concerned about the NG?? Look at that "rhythm" on the monitor 💀
Omg you’re right! Hyperkalemia of what 9 or 10?
