Telling A Full Story In A Single Frame
The Far Side is different.
The strength of The Far Side is its sheer economy.
Each time Larson made a new comic, he was creating a whole world.

Nintendo’s microgames series has similar constraints.
Usually when we play a game, we go through a period of learning the rules.
That isn’t the case for WarioWare.
In all, this game takes five seconds.
I’m not a developer, but making microgames seems like the ultimate test of game design skill.
How do you create something fun that can also be immediately understood?
That requires incredible concision.
I imagine the same is true of writing The Far Side.
You could even say it’s off the hook?
Sorry I’ll get my coat and leave…
