The Far Side is part of the Golden Age of cartoon strips, along with Bloom County and Calvin & Hobbes.

I’m a little late to the party here, but just had to say that I really miss the Far Side. Larson’s vision of the world is weird, but so on-target, too. It’s like a fun-house mirror that somehow reveals the truth by forcing us to see the world in a different way.

For the record, the Midvale School for the Gifted cartoon has always cracked me up, because we have a town called Midvale here in the Salt Lake Valley; as luck would have it, it’s kind of a disreputable area, with a higher-than-usual proportion of trailer-park dwellers…

Well, OK, Ilya – you get bonus points for never having heard of Far Side and still getting two correct. Feel free to claim your prize. ;-)

Anyone else?!?!?!?
