      It’s a troupe of boy scouts. Their motto is to “always be prepared”

        I think there’s another element that goes with your explanation:

        Perhaps that they read the sign and the scoutmaster followed right along, watching kids get stuck.

        OR that they approached from the other side and couldn’t read the sign, and the kids followed the scoutmaster

          It’s definitely the latter…

    I think these are the best kind of Far Sides. When you’re just presented with the punchline and you have to play scene-of-the-joke investigator to uncover the setup.

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!
