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

It took me a second. Gary is Gold.
I don't get it?
Edit* oh does the dog think they're begging? That's kinda funny I guess
My take. Most people get uncomfortable when you stare at them eating.
People generally don’t look at other people eating for that reason, but they’ve probably done that to the dog.
You’ve been making the poor dog uncomfortable for years, but it’s mans best friend so its let it go.
And also when dogs look intently at people eating, they're usually hoping for some of that food to come their way
Yes I'm pretty sure this is the intended joke
Yepp, that also works. Always cool when something can be funny in many different ways.
I mean who really watches their dog eat though? I'll glance over to check she's done, that is about it.
Fair enough:) I recon a non insignificant amount of dogs would probably be confused about this comic strip too - if asked.
