These characters stood no chance.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Over the course of its run in syndication, The Far Side depicted many characters facing their imminent deaths, usually unsuspectingly about to meet their doom for comedic effect. Gary Larson's comic masterpiece was known to swing wildly from goofy to bleak on a panel-to-panel basis, but it was at its best when it found the perfect middle ground between the two.
10 This Captain Would Be Lucky Just To Lose A Leg First Published: January 3, 1980 The Far Side immediately acclimated readers to its dark sense of humor with panels like this one, which features a hapless fisherman almost certainly about to be taken out by the whale he has made the mistake of harpooning.
7 This Poor Bear Thinks That's A Telescope First Published: May 5, 1981 Larson comments on the one-sided brutality of hunting for sport; unlike many of the human characters on this list who don't understand what is about to happen, this bear can't understand. Unlike the other entries on this list, the character here is the Crisis Center building itself, along with those individuals presumably trapped inside of it. This Far Side installment perfectly captures the essence of the question, "what else could possibly go wrong?" as the Center, ostensibly a place designed to offer support to those suffering a crisis, is found in the middle of its own outrageous calamity.
4 Its Never A Good Sign When The Line Goes Taut First Published: December 6, 1982 Several years into The Far Side's run, Gary Larson returned to the idea of the doomed scuba diver – this time trapped in the clutches of an octopus, as his hapless cohorts back on the boat fail to realize the severity of the situation below the surface.
