#the far side
I love boomer cow comics
Anything you see drawn in this art style is by Gary Larsen, a guy who would have thrived on Tumblr. His comic strip is called The Far Side, and it’s excellent.
Þe AUDACITY of calling far side a boomer comic
Gary Larson is still making comics! They aren’t technically The Far Side because that was a specific thing and it’s over, but he got into digital art and he’s been posting the occasional piece! And they still have cows in them!
saved the best for last
also because of this comic the official name for the four-spiked tail on stagosaurine dinosaurs is “thagomizer”

the academic urge to tape a little gary larson comic to your door
As someone who works at a college I can absolutely confirm that no academic in history has EVER resisted this urge
Randall Munroe needs to get into the page-a-day calendar market, is what I’m hearing.
