    I just saw Apocalyptica last night. That’s Metallica on three Cellos… close enough?

    How many young people have actually seen a real record album cover?

    Those things were like the advertising poster and marketing image for each LP record released, so recognizable and iconic design was very important.

    Also, “Public Enemy No. 1” seems to be a weird off-brand version of then-popular rap group Public Enemy. Probably used to dodge copyright problems.

      Gen Z is the driving force behind the vinyl revival according to the Vinyl Alliance.

    The Metallica album would be a better version of S&M, and S&M was pretty awesome.

    Being quite a different generation and not an American either, I am actually surprised I know almost each of the artists referenced.

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!
