      It’s just that they’ve been arguing for years and the wives are fed up about it.

        And the equal portions, starting gun, and ready to dive in pose implies that they are having a speed contest, a classic kind of American thing like 1972 onward hot dog eating contest, a race of 10 minutes (they have adjusted the minutes allowed, but time is the key to the race).

          I wish there were eating contests like that where I live :(

          It’s obvious that they are having a race… But the question is WHY. Was it a common thing to brag about how fast you can eat your dinner?

            That’s why I linked the hot dog eating contest, which is a drag race

      Old people think how fast someone eats or whoever finishes their meal first is a virtue.

      Maybe because boomers eat like someone is about to steal the food of their plates.

        That’s not a boomer trait, it’s inherited. I eat fast like my forefathers before me.

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!
