Strip by: David Morgan-Mar

{A man stands on a busy street sidewalk. Oddly, he carries a dead cat in his hand. A truck driving by is loaded with stuffed animals in the back: a bear, a racoon, a gazelle, a moose's head mounted on a wall plaque.}
Man: {hailing with his other arm} Taxidermist!

The author writes:

The legendary Gary Larson retired from drawing The Far Side in 1995. For a long time we had nothing but reruns and book collections. But recently Larson started releasing brand new comics. He himself explains the reasons why.

Looking at the new comics, my friends and I enjoyed the original version of this comic. But we thought the joke might be improved if only the man was holding, instead of a briefcase, a dead animal.

History will judge whether this is any funnier or not.

Original The Far Side: 2020-07-07 "Taxidermist".
