How many of you are familiar with Gary Larson’s The Far Side? Anyone? No? Well, briefly, The Far Side is a nationally circulated, single-panel comic depicting surrealistic scenes bathed in awkward social situations and anthropomorphized characters who offer humorous and sometimes insightful perspectives on the issues of life. But did you know he’s actually a keen theologian? It’s true. Perhaps his most insightful and biblical cartoon pictures a kid going to school. Book in hand, he’s walking up the steps pushing on the door to the building. Only, the door is clearly marked with notice that says “Pull.” And, near the bottom of the steps, there’s a sign that reads: “Midvale School for the Gifted.”
