    What’s the joke? Is it his collar with the buckle in front?

      I think it’s he has ringworm (a fungal infection) and he’s tried to cure it and hide it with his collar but the other dog saw and is mocking him cause? Cause.

        There was a series of TV commercials in the 70s for a laundry detergent that focused on “ring around the collar”. So I suspect it’s a spoof of one of those.

          Those commercials were pretty common in the 80s (I wanna say it was for Tide), and yes, this is a direct reference to those.

            “Wisk gets ring-around-the-collar and your whole wash clean.”

              Wisk! I’d entirely forgotten the existence of that detergent

          Makes sense. It’s a smidge before my time of having a television.

        Right. It used to be an old jingle in dumb commercials.

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

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
