Greek: Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. Through a key personnel addition, ancient Greece's police department reduces traffic congestion and rubbernecking.
No, it’s not just you, Alicia, it does have the same type of humour, only (& I say this politely) not quite as consistently sharp-edged. Still, it makes me laugh & is one of my favorite stops.
Alicia
It must be just you. Why would anyone thing THIS cartoon looks exactly like the Far Side?
You must be hallucinating. No one else would ever notice anything like that. You should have oyur eyes checked. This cartoon is totally different. Yeah, totally different. That’s the ticket. Ask Mr Navy Bean. He’ll confirm it’s totally different.

Alicia
Don’t ever point out that this cartoon is just like Far Side again or the Bean guy will start calling YOU Dan Reynolds. He’s been harping on this with me FOREVER. Now, he’s tagged Calvin and Question mark as Reynolds, too. You’re next, I’m sure. Actually Reynolds is the ONLY person that sends comments to this board I guess. He’s got something against this guy for some reason.
Don’t ever suggest who Mr Navy Bean is because he’ll deny it and point to his Bean cartoon.
Just enjoy the new Far Sides and we’ll all be better off.
THIS one makes me think thoughts I’ve never thunk to think before! Like - does the Gorgon also affect their horses? Would this then be the earliest incarnation of The Stone Ponys? (Kids - ask your grandparents)

Does this strip remind anyone else of “The Far Side” or is it just me?

The ancient Greeks had it right. If you have to wear clothing, make it a toga, so light weight and not restricting.
