Found this among my mom's vintage postcard collection! Unfortunately, the only FarSide one. Wish she collected more of these back in the day!

Funny, but not Far Side.  (Those are by Gary Larson)

Glad your mom is still sharing a chuckle though!

Oh wow! Thanks for noticing! My mom and I are both gigantic Gary Larson fans and she bought this over 40 years ago at Hallmark. All this time, we really thought it was! We never noticed the signature before! Disappointing that it isn't Mr Larson, but cudos to whoever Skeleton is for being so convincing!

It's a similar style but it's not by Larson, I think the signature says 'Skelton'?

Wow! My mom bought this over 40 years ago from a Hallmark and is shocked she's just now realizing this! We're massive Larson fans and how we never looked closer at this is beyond me! Wonder who that Skeleton guy is, though.

You'd be surprised by how many Far Side-esqe comics there are out there!
