For sixteen years, the single-panel comic strip The Far Side gave readers laughs throughout its initial publication run. The Far Side is full of surrealist humor and social commentary on the absurdities of life and human behavior. Ironically, to comment on human behavior, creator Gary Larson often uses non-human characters like dogs to emphasize the ridiculous situations that people get into.
The Far Side may be best known for its cows, but dogs are frequently cast members of the clever comic strip. Dogs are humans’ closest animal companions, and humans have shaped them into the loyal creatures they are today. By examining human behavior through the eyes and experiences of dogs, The Far Side allows people to laugh at even the most ordinary of situations.

Last one is my favorite.
I always envision, in Larsonesque imagery, and snicker at what happens if the cat steps into the dryer!
