The first one is... OK.

The second one is funny.

The third one? I don't get it. Where's the traditional Larson Far Side ironic juxtaposition of the situation? Do Cub Scouts generally eat bears? I never did.

Yeah, I LOVE The Far Side, but these weren't his funniest. He's been on a pretty long hiatus - maybe he just needs to get back in his stride. There were some clunkers when he was in his prime, so maybe we just need a greater sample set of new stuff.

Good to see him back at it!

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Just another indicator that we need to break out the torches and pitchforks.  If Larson's humor is suddenly "problematic",  the rubicon has been crossed.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Just think what Carlin or Pryor would think today. Yes they where my favorite comedians growing up.
