I totally didn't notice they were separate speakers and I was really struggling to follow the story XD

Same. I was really confused until the caption made me look again

a. Highly contagious person sits closely to his guests.

b. Unbalanced man without his medications sits closely to his guests.

c. Some unbelievable story.

d. A couch with a nasty.

Why would "c" kill the conversation? It is not a story you hear everyday.

C suggests the guy is just crazy. Pretty sure Larson is implying he thinks the dummy is alive.

I did not realize at first that the person speaking was changing each panel until the very last one, that's how much sense it made up until then.

Crazy people gonna crazy.

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!
