The final strip from The Far Side's original run actually revealed a startling truth about the comic's recurring characters that makes complete sense.

The startling truth behind The Far Side's incredibly popular stock characters was actually revealed in the original strip's final comic. The Far Side is well-known for its abstract humor limited to one panel to get its jokes across. Gary Larson's iconic comic has touched the funny bones of readers for decades as one of the funniest gag strips of all time.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The final Far Side comic features a version of Gary Larson himself in the world he created. He's surrounded by his various stock characters as a parody of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz tells him that he can go home by performing a parody of the iconic "There's no place like home" finale to the film.

This Far Side Twist Perfectly Explains Larson's Humor The best thing about this shocking reveal is that it makes sense regarding the humor from The Far Side. Every single strip is rooted in the surreal as it finds unique ways to deliver hard-hitting jokes that border on outlandish.

Larson's Return to The Far Side Now Has a New Meaning The question remains though how this fits into the rebooted run of The Far Side that Larson began back in 2020. While he didn't create comics as frequently as his newspaper days, his return to the series was just as funny as ever. However, what's fascinating is that he likely isn't dreaming this time.

Regardless of what this means for the comic's revival, the final strip for the original comic's run was absolutely genius. Not only did it explain the strip's bizarre humor, but it also showed that every single character was based on someone in the fictionalized Larson's life. The Far Side will continue to live on for how bizarre it can be, and the startling truth behind the stock characters in the final comic just cements the series as one of the smartest ever created.
