far side nerd stegosaurus and kangaroo
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Published in the '80s, Gary Larson's The Far Side released at a time when pop culture was strangely obsessed with stereotypical nerds, with movies like Weird Science and Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Family Matters and Saved by the Bell putting poindexters front and center.
'Shark nerds' are a perfect subject for The Far Side, since Larson already had a library of gags about the deadly fish. Gags tend to revolve around sharks' desire to eat humans, treating this predator/prey dynamic with the same logic as any number of 'cat and mouse' cartoon duos.

But is it really that bad?
6 The Nerd! Larson Flips Kids Collecting Dinosaur Toys In this wholesome comic, Larson imagines a young dinosaur collecting small, plastic humans, in much the same way as kids might collect different types of dinosaur. The stegosaurus in question has collected an array of figurines, including a knight, a cowboy, a Noir detective, and Far Side's own recurring 'beehive-haired woman.' However, it turns out the dino has been waiting to unbox 'the nerd' to complete its collection.
Close Larson did regret one comic set in Hell - one that was captioned "Hell's video store." The strip shows customers browsing a video store with a smiling demon at the cash register - the only hitch being that every single video is a copy of the movie Ishtar. In The Complete Far Side Volume 3, Larson admits he never actually saw the movie and was going by its bad reputation.
