The one that made me laugh was a single frame picture
the caption beneath read something like
"And now as I cut the umbilical cord a new life begins"
the new born took off like a balloon
I cant find the compilation book it was in, and I lost it some years ago. just remember him saying it was stuff he had second thoughts of submitting.(until that galley book came out.
wish I could find it.
Never mind I found it

My favourites are usually the cavemen ones. Or the science ones.
Exactly. That's nothing these days.^ Sixty-one, eh? He's my age. All the more reason to come out of retirement.
There are so many delightful Far Side cartoons. This site has some cute photo tributes to the Far Side. The penguins and the polar bear has always been a favorite. http://www.worth1000.com/contests/3486/unauthorized-far-side-tribute-6
^ You just remeinded me:
"This is called the Thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons"
Also liked the caveman scientists studying dirt (symbol, De)
I think the fact that paleontologists decided to actually name that part of a dinosaur the thagomizer is awesome.
That is fantastic. I wasn't surprised when reading your post, because etymologists actually named a species after Larson, but I didn't know that the Thagomizer was a named being used by paleontologists. That's great.^ You just remeinded me:

Here's the wikipedia article.
My favorite Far Side-related story was the "Jane Goodall Controversy." 
"circular reasoning; see: reasoning, circular"
"reasoning, circular; see: circular reasoning"
This thread actually reminded me I have The Far Side Gallery (1). I'm gonna sit here & look through it now.
Oh, that made me laugh! Just shows how many people out there have rods up their butts, and who can be cool about such things. Goodall's attitude impressed me no end.My favorite Far Side-related story was the "Jane Goodall Controversy."
Oh! Another facourite: "Danook shows off hos Swiss Army rock" The cavemen expressions say it all!
At school, a friend of mine loved The Far Side. He had one of those desk calendars with a different tear-off cartoon each day and would stick each day's cartoon up on the wall in the common room. Over the years, most of a wall got filled, so all of us who used the room got pretty familiar with the comic. 
I think they're funny. Not as consistently funny as a lot of people find them, but occasionally they really hit the mark.
