Looking for a particular comic

Hey there everyone! Mods, feel free to remove this if it’s inappropriate for the sub.

I’m looking for a particular Far Side comic that I was going to send to a friend as relevant to the conversation we were having at the time. I looked for it and couldn’t find it, so I moved on in the conversation. But it bugged me that I couldn’t find it. So I kept looking. Online turned into looking through some books and I still couldn’t find it. It bothered me.

There is a cowboy on a horse in a vast, open expanse of desert, and the cowboy has driven the horse’s face directly into what looks to be the only cactus for miles. I think the horse had a thought bubble that said something to the effect of “That’s it, I’m driving from now on.”

Tell me I’m not imagining this.

EDIT: Wow. Nevermind. It was literally posted in this community just days ago. That’ll teach me to sort by “Top 12 hours”.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
