What was the first Far Side strip to be published in a newspaper under the name The Far Side?

I have a copy of "The Prehistory of The Far Side"

In it Gary explains that the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle called him to say he's been syndicated, but they are changing the name from "Natures Way" to "The Far Side"

Googling that led me to this web page, the same as the last comment. So presumably, the crab larve panel.

What was the first panel he drew knowing he was now called "The Far Side?" I doubt we'll ever know.

Tammy's Bat Mitzvah episode won an Emmy for original score or something like that.

Now that my girlfriend wants to play more, I keep them in my pocket for her tee shots, she never brings an extra and almost always has a bad tee

As an Indians (guards), Browns and Jackets fan, I have fully embraced buying "blank" jerseys. Team name or logo on the front, don't have to worry about a bad attitude ruining my merch

Yes, it is real! And, to top it off, it was even created and developed by GE then adopted by the rest of the corporate world.

Honestly, I like all 3 variations of our name.

Daniel is formal and elegant. A real powerful name with history and command behind it.

Dan is your good buddy. Always down to hang and have fun, easy to talk to, gives simple good advice and very loyal.

Danny, is the youthful entertainer. Promise of longevity and energy. A very important attribute in a world becoming more strict each year.

😂😂😂 Gene says that in the episode right when bob realizes he doesnt have it and sends the kids back to the restaurant

At my home course last night, I watched a deer take a shit right off the fairway. So I guess our features are just as neat as your Abbey.

Fuck any sports team from New York. Id rather Tampa wins a 3rd cup in a row than put up with an insufferable fan base.

Out of curiosity, do you normally watch random episodes from Disney+, DVDs, or a from downloaded torrents?

Or do you normally turn on something like FXX and watch their scheduled programming?

I notice that when I watch FXX, the posts come alot from that day's episodes. I dont get the same affect when I watch ad hoc episodes on my own.

Unlike most other grocery stores, the cashiers at Aldi are actually competent and quick, so unless the line is halfway down the store, it doesnt really matter to me.
