Why remake this comic in SketchUp if it's gonna look worse than the original

One of the most classic Far Side cartoons. It looks like it’s been edited to add to the sides (it was originally more square) and recolored.

Looks like someone did a complete 3D render or something. It's pretty different from the original.

Still relatable, seems to get more true the higher education you enter into.

A little frustrating that they didn't give proper credit or that it was cropped out at some point

That's not even the original, which is black and white.

Larson did a lot of colorizations and redraws of various kinds. Though I don't think the 3d one is his.

The more compact ones are funnier for some reason.

I'm pretty sure it is a law somewhere that every school has to have a photocopy of this comic in the teachers lounge with that specitic school's name edited in.

Multuple lecturers had it on the outside of their door at my uni.

Jeez, I remember sitting at my Apple II in computer class in 1992 or '93 and our teacher having this comic cut out and taped to the side of his computer. I'm pretty sure it's older than that too, but it's a testament to the quality comic Farside was, simple but memorable.
