The Far Side's 15 Craziest Comics About Aliens
Aliens were integral to Gary Larson's syndicated comic strip The Far Side, as often menacing the people of Earth as mirroring their familiar foibles.
The Far Side's humor often came from making the familiar seem alien – and many times throughout the strip's run, it used actual aliens to achieve this effect. Frequently, extraterrestrials were depicted in Far Side panels as being engaged in the same hapless behaviors as everyday humans. Other times, they represented the vast, terrifying forces of the unknown universe, looming over the people of Earth.
