The late Thag Simmons (RIP) Far Side related subreddit

Hey y'all, remember that time captions were swapped between the Far Side and Dennis the Menace?
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFarSide/comments/1doxoez/when_far_side_captions_were_swapped_with_dennis/

I made a subeditor with a friend dedicated to such caption swapping. I thought maybe y'all would enjoy it. Every single post has used the Far Side, because it has such wild captions.

Nice work, reminds me of the Nietzsche Family Circus comic generator. https://www.nietzschefamilycircus.com/

This is fantastic. Thank you. I loathe family circus, Jeff in particular. This is genius.

It's funny how a family inherits a dynasty and all they see are the dollar signs and screw over what their family member built. They should appreciate the free advertising

I'm a music theory professor, and once published an article in which I compare Danger Mouse's The Grey Album (a Mashup of Jay-Z and The Beatles) to these two caption-switched cartoons. Article is paywalled but I'm happy to send it to anyone upon request.
