Interior of a wasp nest. Several policewasps and an inspector of the wasp police are examining a hole that has evidently been made by a stone thrown by the fat kid in glasses who is trying to squeeze himself against the opposite wall of the nest. One of the detectives says (approximately): “Based on the way the rock penetrated the wall, I’d have to say this looks like an inside job.”

Not that weird, actually. When you hit “preview”, the posts appear in reverse chronological order.
Some detectives examining a corpse in a bowling alley. They are surrounded by pins being carried by machinary, piled up, and strewn about. Caption: “It looks like he was struck from behind by a large, blunt, object.”
Two deer talking in a forest. One has a concentric target painted on his chest. Caption: “Bummer, of a birthmark, Hal.”

Not sure if this has been done - A couple of scientists are working very carefully on a huge bomb. Behind them is another scientist with an inflated paper bag and a mischeivous grin.
Yep, that was a good one. 
>A bunch of scientists stand around a badly put together rocket while the head scientist-guy exclaims “Hey, come on guys, this isn’t brain surgery!”
Naah, they say “Let’s face it gentlemen, we’re not exactly rocket scientists”.
A Mad look at Scooters. Damn that was funny.
Three of my favorites from The Far Side:
Moby Dick, performing tricks at Sea World…with Captain Ahab still lashed to his tail. Ahab is thinking, “This is sooo embarassing…”
Two guys in Hell, surrounded by flames and demons and the shrieking of the damned, and one of the guys leans over and whispers conspiratorially in the other’s ear: “I hate this place.”
And finally: “The real reason dinosaurs went extinct.”
The best part of that one was the surprised look on the snake’s face. He made it in, but now can’t get out 
Favorite Far Side:
“So I said to him: ‘As long as we’re besieged here, Borg, one of us ought to moon those Saxon dogs!’”
Favorite Mad Magazine:
God, where to begin? Back in my Mad Magazine days (roughly 1968-1975) they had so many good bits, and the paperback books were still around with great stuff from the '50s. SuperDuperman. Starchie Standrews. Melvin of the Apes.
Just the parody titles were great. I never see an TV Guide listing for “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” without reading it as “Voyage to see What’s on the Bottom”.
But yeah, it pretty much sucks nowadays.
Two sailors in a bar. One of them points to his peg leg and says, “Well, I guess that ain’t a bad story…but let me tell you about how I lost this!” The sailor who just finished his story has a peg head.
Scroungy-looking shop teacher reclines in his chair, with his back to Larson-kid (chubby, glasses, bad skin) and gigantic robot. Larson-kid declares, “My project’s ready for grading, Mr. Big Nose…Hey, I’m talking to YOU, squidbrain!” Every time I see that, I think, “Please, please let him have worked all the bugs out, so that thing doesn’t grind to a halt unexpectedly…”
Elderly woman stands in the doorway of her house, which faces a hillside, and calls out “With a knick-knack paddywhack give a dog a bone!” Elderly man promptly tumbles all the way down the hill.
And I love the color plate in “Pre-History of the Far Side”. After recounting the many times certain panels drew complaints (like Amnesty International getting their drawers in a knot over dungeon-torture scenes: “But what I wonder is, does Wizard of Id get letters like this?” Probably not.), Larson concludes, “And now, my response to all those who took the time to register their opinions:” Drawing of Larson, pulling his mouth out of shape for a “BLEAH!” face.
Which, of course, is prominently on the door of the physics department’s resident rocket scientist.
And the Larson-kid in the Shop Project one and many others is The Nerd.
Far Side favorites:
A police officer is taking a report from a woman who is standing outside her house, all in shadows: Woman speaking, "His hat and coat were gone, I found his worries right here (pointing down), and the neighbors said he went that way. (pointing away from the shadows)
Satan stands behind a guy, poking him in the back with a trident, saying, “C’mon, it’s one or the other.” The doors ahead of the guy read ‘DAMNED if you do’ and ‘DAMNED if you don’t’.
My secretary gave me a coffee mug with that on it one year-how true!
A bedraggled man crawls his way to a watering hole in the desert. Two vultures are flying overhead, one carrying an upright piano.
First vulture: “Dang, looks like he’s gonna make it.”
Second vulture (w/piano): “Oh no he’s not.”
A bunch of elephants are flying around.
“Sacred elephant aerial grounds”
Down in Hell, people are toiling away miserably, except for one guy, who seems to be enjoying himself. One devil guy says to another “We’re just not reaching this guy.”
Caveman are looking up in awe at a UFO made of rocks and sticks, with the caption “Primitive UFOs.”
Some of the best Far Side moments were the printing mishaps detailed in the 10th aniversary book. One was when in that one paper it switched captions with Dennis the Mennis. The Farside comic has snakes at the dinner table, with the other comic having Dennis and his friend eating sandwiches, and the caption reads “Oh brother, not hamsters again!” A few days later, they switch again, this time with a caveman at a fortune teller as the Far Side comic, and with Dennis at the dinner table talking to his dad, with the caption “I see your little, petrified skull…labeled and resting on a shelf somewhere!” The look on the dad’s face is priceless.
Also, when a caption from a previous comic got mixed with another one. One comic had a bunch of snails worshipping a statue of a salt shaker, with the caption “Eeeny ooony, wanaaaah” or some gibberish like that. Another comic had a guy in a suit pointing up at a tree and talking to a lady, but it accidentally had the snail comic caption, so the guy was telling her “Eeeeny ooony, wanaaaah.”
The mark and testament of any good science department in any university is the amount of Far Side cartoons tacked onto bulletin boards and walls. You know exactly what I am talking about, you biology and physics majors out there!
Back when I used to run a copier, I taped Far Side cartoons all over the thing.
Some I remember: Two adult bugs with stern looks on their faces and crossed arms. Two teenage bugs, one of them looks like a jelly bean with tiny arms sprouting out the sides and a little pinhead sticking out the top. His girlfriend bug is telling the adult bugs, “Look, I know we’re young, but we’re in love and want to get married. I’ll just work until Jerry pupates.”
Aftermath of a wild west gun fight: the loser is stone dead on the ground, smoke coming out of bulletholes, while the winner is still brandishing his pistols and says “OK stranger, what’s the circumference of the earth? What’s the average rainfall of the Amazon Basin?” and an old man in back is telling him, “Bart you fool! You can’t shoot first and ask questions later!”
This one made me laugh my ass off, but nobody else who saw the strip that I knew of thought it was funny. It’s a barnyard scene, and a farmer is grasping a sheep by its 2 right feet/hooves and spinning around. All the other farm animals are watching. The caption: “Every morning the barnyard animals would line up and wait for one of Farmer Dan’s Airplane Spins.” Guess you had to be there.
Say, anybody ever pick up any B. Kliban comic strips? He predated Gary Larson, but it’s easy to see that Kliban influenced Larson. One strip had this bedrazzled looking female impersonator, with five o’clock shadow, runny mascara, hairy arms and smking cigarette butt. An eskimo is walking by, and the FI says scornfully, “Tacky eskimo.” The name of the strip is “Drag Racist.”
I hadn’t even seen this one before, but your description cracked me up! I guess one must be in the over-40 crowd to get this one.
Many of my favourites have already been mentioned. Here are a few others that i love (captions may not be 100% accurate–i’m working from memory) :
Caption: I lift, you grab. Was that concept a little too difficult for you, Hal?
Caption: It’s young Jim Smith. Dang fool tried to ride into the sunset.
Caption: Secret tools of the common crow.
Caption: The lions discovered that they had accidentally captured the dreaded tofudebeest.
Caption: Aw, crybaby wants the last soda. Well, just let me GET IT READY FOR YOU!
Among my faves:
Two snake cowboys, with Stetson hats and holsters on, are staring each other down, getting ready for a shootout at high noon. One finally says, “Aw, who’re we kidding, Slim? We both know this is gonna be a draw again!” (The snakes have no hands with which to draw their guns!)
A flock of vultures in the desert is chowing down on some poor dead cowpoke’s remains. One wiseacre vulture is wearing the guy’s stetson hat and flannel shirt, and saying, “Look at me, guys, I’m a cowboy! Howdy, howdy!”
The greatest ever, in my humble opinion: inside a pet shop, there’s a giant sleeping anaconda with a huge bulge in his belly, and a serene smile on his face. Up above, on a perch, a parrot repeats over and over, “Hello, my name is Joe… AAARGH! AAAARGH! GET IT OFF ME!.. Hello, my name is Joe… AAARGH! AARRGH! GET IT OFF ME!.. Hello, my name is Joe…”
