I took a photograph of this cartoon from Gary Larson’s Far Side collection titled HOUND OF THE FAR SIDE, page 91 . Hope that is not stretching the rules too much. The camera used was a Kodak Easy Share Z612
What I find the most humorous is us. To paraphrase Pogo: (Dear Readers, I realize some of you are too young to know of Pogo, or to put it another way, I am an old fart who has read ancient cartoons) "We have met the joke and it are us!"
"We are all part of this Human Comedy. We all take our turns being the punch line. "--E.J. Edwards
"Never take yourself too seriously, no one else does"–E.J. Edwards.
I love this cartoon, it would be analogous to a life verse for me. We might go out and do wonderful, amazing things, accomplish them, and then trip over our own feet. It is rather sad to see someone so serious about themselves, so puffed up about their "image" that they cannot see the humor in themselves. Of course that is part of what is so funny about such, the obvious is oblivious to them. What is funnier still is that we all slip into this at sometime or other.
"Blessed is the person who can laugh at themselves, for they shall continually be amused"–Anonymous
And I must say, I am pretty much amused most of the time. Enjoy life, laugh when you can, laugh harder when you are able. When it comes time to cry, I will cry with you.
"A merry heart is like a good medicine"–Proverbs 17:22
". . .there is a time for every event under Heaven. . . a time to weep and a time to laugh." -- Ecclesiastes 3:1&4
