The Far Side needs a new movie adaptation.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Gary Larson’s The Far Side ended almost 30 years ago, the comic strip’s forgotten TV special proves that a movie adaptation could still work. Gary Larson’s The Far Side ran from 1979 to 1995.

Tales From The Far Side Brought Gary Larson’s Comic To The Screen The Far Side TV Special Aired in 1994 That said, there was one adaptation of The Far Side that arrived as the strip was wrapping up its original run. Tales From The Far Side did a surprisingly solid job of converting the comic to television, bringing some of Larson’s classic strips to life in animation while also adding some previously unseen new gags.

A Far Side Movie Could Borrow Tales From The Far Side’s Style Gary Larson’s Iconic Strip Is Overdue A Movie Adaptation Close Tales From The Far Side is composed of entirely dialogue-free vignettes with vague thematic links but few recurring characters, making it both a faithful adaptation of the strip and the perfect basis for a full-length reboot.
