I remember the first time I encountered The Far Side, I was a university administrator, and the cartoon started appearing in the student newspaper. I thought it was the work of one of the students and really looked forward to seeing it when each paper came out. Not sure when I became aware it was a syndicated cartoon, but have been a fan ever since....
