Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Far Side could be said to be obsessed with many things like fishing, desert islands, monsters, and everyone's favorite members of the animal kingdom: bugs. While insects can be polarizing, Gary Larson knew how to present his buggie-centric comics in a way that would make readers laugh even if they had deathly fears of creepy crawlies.
Daddy long-legs are very easy to recognize, courtesy of their mile-long legs and small bodies, something Gary Larson utilizes in this comic. The recognition of the kind of spiders in the strip is necessary to get the caption and the ensuing joke, making it something that bug enthusiasts and the layperson alike could easily understand. While spiders are typically something most people try to avoid, these specific jerky spiders are doubly ones to keep away from with a 10-foot pole.
Despite the cynical bug's view that the butterfly is lying, the butterfly's claim is actually based in science. Once a caterpillar has turned into a butterfly, their most important goal is securing a mate that they will spend the rest of their life with, short as it is. The Far Side loved to blend science and humor, with this bug-centered strip just one example.
Gary Larson paints a domestic picture, but instead of humans as the subjects, it's the insect everyone knows and somewhat tolerates: ants. Comparing the magnifying glass to a work of art or a piece of furniture that couples disagree on in the human world, the otherwise surreal comic becomes more relatable, albeit in typical Far Side fashion. Given the danger of the magnifying glass, the numerous ant kids roaming around decrease if the household fixture stays with the ant family.
Regardless, the comic serves as an example of Gary Larson's love of wordplay, using the common ground words of dung beetle and dungarees to describe a madcap scene. The insects in fancy clothes present images straight out of a weird dream, or a nightmare for those with Entomophobia. The dung beetles being cast as pariahs only adds to the kooky vibe.
