34 Years Later, the Best-Ever 'Far Side' Quote Will Still Leave You Speechless
Gary Larson's comic strip The Far Side was known for its visual humor, but this is the best-ever quote from the series
In 1992, a Far Side comic strip featuring a mime under a falling tree and the caption "Question: If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s around, and it hits a mime, does anyone care?" was discovered by the reporter. This quote, which uses a well-known idiom and turns it into a punchline, is considered the best-ever Far Side quote because it embodies the humor, darkness, silliness, and word-centric nature of Larson's work.
While the visual of the mime is enjoyable, the quote stands on its own and does not require the image to be understood.
