      here are the correct relevant words to the song/nursery rhyme:

      Mary had a little lamb

      Its fleece was white as snow

      everywhere that Mary went

      her lamb was sure to go

        Without zooming in, I thought that was her husband.

        I had to look it up to remember it fully, and now I get it.

        Mary had a little lamb
        It’s fleece was black as coal, yeah
        Everywhere the child went
        That little lamb was sure to go, yeah

          Why is the sheep white then? WHY?

            The version I grew up with was “it’s fleece was white as snow”, not black as coal.

            Which also rhymes better with “sure to go”

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!
