    For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puff,_the_Magic_Dragon

    "And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

    Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

    And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff

    Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

    And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

    Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

    And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

    Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

    Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail

    Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

    Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name…" by Peter, Paul and Mary

    There have been a number of major oil spills along the US coastline through the decades.

    https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/oil-and-chemical-spills/oil-spills/largest-oil-spills-affecting-us-waters-1969.html

    The most recent major spill before this cartoon from 1993 was the Exxon Valdez spill off Alaska in 1989

    That was the largest domestic US oil spill until the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010

    Here’s a NY Times video looking back at what happened from 2013

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!
