The joke is, if cows made tools they'd look like that.
Is this loss?
Each tool represents on of the 4 cowboys of the apocalypse. The cow stands behind them each, representing the beast himself.
Omelette du fromage.
The idea that cows use tools is absurd, and the fact that the tools look to be of poor craftsmanship is also absurd.
Formerly Chuck's tools.
>The "cow tools" were supposed to be just meaningless artifacts---only the cow or a cowthropologist is supposed to know what they're used for.
>The first mistake I made was in thinking this was funny. The second was making one of the tools resemble a crude handsaw--which made already confused people decide that their only hope in understanding the cartoon meant deciphering what the other tools were as well. Of course, they didn't have a chance in hell. – Gary Larson
There're a few Farsides I don't get.
Guess I'll orient some of these so people don't think I'm from some equator country

selling pencils is a task requiring almost no qualifications but the company owner is acting high and mighty about it regardless, to someone who visibly just needs a job

I suppose it must be that simple. Something about the composition and the name Albert made me think I was a pop culture reference that died in the last 40 years.
There's nothing to get
The cow has your pipe
It's a riff on the term "cow pies"
So these are "cow tools" and they look like that because they're made of cow shit
You can watch the chameleons change but Mr. Turner has gone nowhere in his life
So the rhinoceros is national debt and the record player is China?

Rhino records is also a thing?
I don't know how these two intersect.

NIGGA WHAT IS THIS ?
well, that did things to me.
I actually have the Far Side retrospective anthology that features commentary from Larson. One of his regrets was making the tool on the right look like an actual human saw, prompting people to try and figure out what the others were, which he never intended to be anything. He kept getting letters about it for years after the strip ended.
Why do I keep seeing this shit.
It's a bot.
If there's a sneed post in the thread I'll...
God fucking damn it
I still don't get it.
The joke is shit and literally "tools made by a cow"
The guy who made it isn't a professional, right?
References "I brake for X" bumper stickers, plus the absurdity of someone who literally never brakes for any reason.
In old westerns, brawls were often set in bars, to the accompaniment of someone playing the piano. Here, there is a brawl, but no bar, but the piano is there anyway.
no, he's waiting to play a glissando for when one or both of them fall, like in CARTOONS
>So, in summary, I drew a really weird, obtuse cartoon that no one understood and wasn't funny and therefore I went on to great success and recognition.
That explains the internet.
