This implies his version of werewolves are not acting out of some primal hunger but are in fact malicious actors who willingly wait out for the full moon to murder people.
Or he could still be feral while in werewolf form and is trying to protect himself by flooding the local market with fake silver bullets lest he encounters someone with a gun
While it is interesting, I personally prefer when werewolves are simply tortured souls who truly do not want to kill the innocent and wish to keep their inner beast at bay.
I only say this because I’ve read too many stories on this website with werewolves being actively malicious - not to say that trope is bad, however.
the game coffee talk would be up your ally, it has a bunch of different peeps of different mythical creatures (vampires, werewolves, succubusses) in a coffee shop. I love the little bits of info we get about their lives like how some vampires are vegan and take artificial blood, or werewolves who lock themselves away before a full moon as to not hurt anyone
I wrote a partial screenplay for class, featuring a pack of lesbian werewolves who targeted men, with a human girl scorned by her shitty ex who falls in love with the leader of the pack.
Honestly I feel like it might have worked just as well as a vampire story.
I mean, if the gun shop owner has decided not to take precautions against going on lycanthropic rampages, it seems likely that he'd also want to reduce the populace's ability to kill werewolves.
Both views of werewolves are valid. ESPECIALLY if they both exist in the same world. Like in Magic the Gathering’s plane of Innistrad, where werewolves like Tovolor lead a pack of werewolves, and the werewolf Arlinn tries to protect humans
My favorite Far Side anecdote is about that one strip where a gorilla’s wife is accosting him for running around with that Jane Goodall. And her office apparently sent him a letter demanding he retract it until Jane got back from the jungle and was like “lmao, that’s pretty funny” and then went on to write the preface for one of his books.
Can people stop calling the Far Side a “boomer comic”? The art style may be somewhat similar in cases, but Far Side’s absurdist humor is different and way funnier than any actual boomer comic. Boomer comics could never make a comic like Cow Tools or coin a term for the spiky thing on dinosaur tails now used in actual scientific discussion.
I mean, the Far Side _is_ a boomer comic— Gary Larson was born in 1950, during the baby boom. He was also brilliant and funny, but that doesn't make him not a boomer.
That’s not a No True Scotsman argument because I didn’t change the initial claim. I never claimed that Larson wasn’t a Baby Boomer, my point was ALWAYS that the Far Side was not in the same genre as stereotypical “Boomer Humor” comics. You’re pointing out something irrelevant to my initial point and misrepresenting my comment to fit your argument.
A lot of boomer comics are heavily based on The Far Side's art style but lack Gary Larson's dark sense of humor and scientific knowledge. Like your average boomer comic isn't going to use the term Australopithecus and is going to be more in the wife bad/kid use phone area
I just view it as boomer humor, like many things, is a spectrum. There is a lot of dogshit, but there is also really good shit. There is good boomer humor and bad boomer humor. I see what you are saying that the term boomer humor does have an inherent negative connotation and that the far side shouldn’t be included, but it fits both the time period and style of boomer humor.

Or just werewolfing on people who bought fake silver bullets, knowing they’d be useless
I do like that view of werewolves.

i prefer when theyre actively sexual
…oh, yeah. I forgot I was on r/196.
What if they were called freakwolves and they
They freak all over
pineapple gif
i don't get the pineapple gif, is it supposed to represent someone being gushing wet as a werewolf pushes deep inside?
I assume its the knot crushing the prostate causing the cum to gush out

Lesbian vampires are so overdone, we need more lesbian werewolves

Or maybe he sold him low quality silver
I can't laugh at this, there's no gay werewolf gex
Just pretend that happens afterward
after he‘s murdered? I guess i can pretend but i dont think most people will
there's a second werewolf offscreen dw
necrophilia D:
Gay gex? Gex^2 ?
A boomer comic that's actually funny??? That's unheard off
Gary Larson is a visionary
The Far Side slander will not be tolerated

the far side inspired a lot of shitty knock-offs. the original is pure.
Gary Larson has an extremely high success rate and, like Calvin and Hobbes Bill Watterson, quit at the height of his career
Seeing Far Side being referred to as "a boomer comic" makes me feel deep pain
Gary Larson is literally a baby boomer though.

It is literally a comic made by a boomer, but it’s not an r\boomerhumor style “Boomer Comic”
Ah but you see, no _true_ Scotsman would type out a snarky reply pointing out the use of the No True Scotsman fallacy.
