Gary Larson's The Far Side ran new strips from 1980 to 1994, but the nearly 15 years that have passed since he retired haven't quieted fans, who find their own interesting ways to pay tribute.

Currently circling the internet is the Far Side Reenactments Flickr pool, a collection of photos and illustrations from different contributors acting out their favorite Far Side panels. Above is The Rocketeer's version of this strip, in which the big, bloodshot eyeball is closer than it appears.

I am also partial to this toe-oriented effort and to this one -- who can forget the School For The Gifted?
