The Far Side's Best Alien Comics Ranked

Gary Larson's The Far Side gave us fifteen years of absolutely brilliant single-panel comics, and this roundup focuses on his alien-themed jokes specifically. The man had an incredible gift for finding comedy in the mundane clashing with the absurd, and his aliens were one of his most fertile creative territories. These weren't alien invasion stories—they were just everyday situations viewed through an extraterrestrial lens. It seems Larson returned to the alien concept repeatedly because it gave him endless angles on human behavior from an outside perspective.
