      I just posted this to a Garfield friendly group on Facebook in the hopes that someone would explain it to me.

      And if you know who I am, then you know I know orange cat related things. Yet this makes no sense at all to me.

        It just depends on you being familiar with the term “bible belt” which is a way of describing that most of the American south is very religious. It takes that idea and extrapolates the existance of several sillier “belts”.

          Are they based on something from reality or just made up in the author’s mind?

        Well, if they copyrighted it in 1991, then they’ve been sitting on this for quite a while.

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!
