7 Hilarious ‘Far Side’ Comics With the Worst Puns

One of the best possible recipes for comedy is to have incredibly dumb characters written by incredibly smart people. Homer Simpson, for example, has often been written by Harvard-educated writers staffed at The Simpsons . Fry on Futurama is the same kind of character, as is Michael Scott from The Office , and basically every character on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . In the medium of comic strips , the best example of dumb characters written by a genuine genius is The Far Side , where Gary Larson features some hopelessly stupid subjects. That’s where the funny comes from.
