If you grew up with The Far Side, you already know the vibe — oddball cows, confused scientists, and the kind of weird one-panel humor that shaped an entire generation’s taste in jokes.

I read my first collection of The Far Side comics when I was like 11, and I still randomly think of individual panels all the time.

“Tell me, Margaret… Am I a butthead?” — classic.

The good news for all you Gary Larson fans: the wonderfully strange comedy didn’t disappear.

It just moved online.

So if you miss that classic Far Side feeling — the eyebrow raise, the half-second delay before the laugh, the “what did I just read?” moment — this one’s for you.

Take a scroll through these modern Far Side–style gems and let your inner ’90s newspaper-comic kid come out to play.
