        I read it as “the guy is so stupid he is lost already”

      Possibly the joke is about the cow’s missing tail. So the teacher’s comment about a “a question there in the back” is a pun.

      I interpret it as “who is the arrow pointing at?” between the image and the prof.

      Is it because of horns and utters together?

        Apparently female cows (it’s redundant yeah, but trying to be clear) DO grow horns, they just get cut off in captivity when they’re calves: https://www.online-field-guide.com/do-female-cows-have-horns/

        Whether Larson knew this and was drawing an anatomically accurate horned cow or was under the common misconception that cows lack horns and was trying to make a double layered joke about “someone has a stupid question about everything, even a simple picture of a cow” in conjunction with “but actually if you look closely enough there’s something to question about this particular cow picture” I dunno.

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!
