Its just meant to be absurd, I notice a lot of Lemmings digging for a deeper meaning that isn’t there. If that image+caption doesn’t make you grin immediately Farside may just not be your thing.
lolll don’t tell them! i enjoy the banter!
Honestly? Is it really “digging” to say this is related to the pandemic when a sneeze could kill other people.
Yes, it absolutely is digging. This comic was released way before COVID-19 was a thing. The most recent pandemic was probably Spanish Flu, which was before his time.
Ok, I read the title of the date meaning the release date.
It really isn’t digging though, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation.
Unfortunately this arms race eventually escalated to snot rockets.
This is top-tier The Far Side content. Everybody seems to remember the stuff with animals acting like humans, but this is the sort of thing that I remember most fondly.
I don’t get it. Is this a reference to people doing finger pistols?
It’s pure absurdism. The guy’s brain just works different. Some of it’s genius, some is quirky, and some is like this.
Cow tools.
I think it’s riffing on “handguns”

I don’t think you are, really.
There are a lot of references to stuff people in the 80s and 90s would be familiar with. But a lot is just absurd as well.
I think this one is more on the absurd end of the spectrum.
I hope they fire when they sneeze
This reminds me of the cross-eyed glasses in The Jerk

The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a nose gun is a good guy with a nose gun.
