You're crossing an elephant with a rhino!

[–]supermegaultrajeremy 59 points60 points ago

And what do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino? Elephino, how could I?

[–]Circlejerk_Leak 20 points21 points ago

Speaking of elephants, Ron Paul 2012

[–]supermegaultrajeremy 20 points21 points ago

Hey now, anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant!

WOAH WOAH! No need to elephate the situation!

Rhino what you mean.

[–]ImNumberTwo 1 point2 points ago

Speaking of Ron Paul, have you heard about Rampart?

[–]mike413 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah, but if I had said "horn horn horn", things would have gone in a completely different direction... :)

[–]Lord_Vectron 6 points7 points ago

They call me the Rhymenoceros, not because I'm fat, not because i got birds on my back

but because I'm horny! I'm horny!

[–]Lord_Vectron 1 point2 points ago

It's sad that that part isn't even in that version of the song :(

Have an up vote because that's the song that came to mind when I saw this.

Damn you, damn you to helll!!!! ...no one will understand comment but are you some kind of witty reddit bot?

Thank you for making that joke, I can always count on Reddit to think the same thing I did

[–]raspberr 6 points7 points ago

Me too. I kept looking at the picture trying to figure out how that could be a penis before realizing what was really going on lol

[–]WaitingForHoverboard 1 point2 points ago

I actually read the title as "Indecent" and viewing it didn't change my mind, since I automatically went straight for the rhino deviance interpretation.

[–]allsortsofbadcattt23 3 points4 points ago

The horn is pretty phallic...

[–]I_NoScopedJFK 0 points1 point ago

It's a symbol of his fertitity.

I liked trying to interpret those with no understanding of the language.

It was hard.

[–]1541drive 4 points5 points ago

Very deep comic. "that's what she said". what?

[–]morpheousmarty 0 points1 point ago

Apparently, according to her, it's a very deep comic.

[–]killing_you_softly 7 points8 points ago

This is from Turkish humorist Selçuk Erdem. Most of his work is hilarious, but in Turkish.

[–]Athene_Wins 12 points13 points ago

Would they actually see their horn? Aren't their eyes on the side of their head? I'm not expert, still, fun comic

[–]searchlight_archer 11 points12 points ago

Yup. Unlike us humans, rhinos are prey animals so they have eyes on the sides of their heads so they can maximize their field of view to sight potential predators. What they get in field of view they sacrifice in depth perception and fidelity (harder to gauge depth when you don't have two eyes to triangulate position).

[–]Cemo9999 4 points5 points ago

We are like console, can run everything, but a very low FOV

[–]AdmiralSkippy 2 points3 points ago

It makes you realize just how pathetic humans are in the animal kingdom when you hear a rhino is a "prey" animal.

[–]Neebat 2 points3 points ago

Humans have been capable of killing Rhinos for a very long time now. We're the best damn predators out there. (As far as we know!)

[–]jadoth 1 point2 points ago

what is fidelity?

[–]searchlight_archer 2 points3 points ago

"Fidelity: the degree of exactness with which something is copied or reproduced"

I'm using it here as a lay word, not a technical term. If you only have one eye looking at something, you don't get a "stereo" picture like we do as humans.

[–]anonymous123421 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but compared to what? Could our "reality" not be true reality? Or is reality different for every individual? I feel that there is no standard, constant "fidelity" that could be discovered by man-- only a relative measure.

Anyway, that's enough existential stuff for now

[–]BurnOutYourEyes 1 point2 points ago

Well yes, but no because rhinos have horrible vision. They primarily rely on their senses of smell and hearing. I learned this in physics when we talked about optics because rhinos are extremely nearsighted.

[–]The_dog_says 1 point2 points ago

damnit. I just studied this 2 weeks ago. Because of you, i don't get to show off my knowledge. :'(

[–]rowuco 1 point2 points ago

However wouldn't their brain choose to ignore it? Just like we can always see our nose, and our brain chooses to ignore it.

[–]metabug 2 points3 points ago

Well we can see a little bit of our own nose from the corner of both eyes and there are also blood vessels running on top of our retina yet we don't see them normally. Our brain filters them out. Maybe it works similarly for rhinos too.

[–]Crowtis 1 point2 points ago

A few people are saying yes but I disagree. If they were to see out of the front of their head like we did then I think they would adapt to their nose much like we do. It would be another case of sensory adaptation and their brains would omit their nose out just like we do to ours.

[–]h0ser 0 points1 point ago

humans also see their nose all the time throughout the day (unless their eyes are closed), but we just block it out of our minds.

[–]ProUsqueTandem 0 points1 point ago

I don't think so. What you'll realize when you read this, is that your nose is constantly in peripheral vision, especially if you look down. However, our brians correct this so you don't see it, much like they fill in the blind spot. I presume this would be the same for rhinos

[–]Fentia 42 points43 points ago

Man, i haven't laughed so heartily in a very long time. Thank you so much! I am so happy right now :3

[–]Winkie1[S] 19 points20 points ago

Smiles :) glad you're smiling

[–]Fentia 0 points1 point ago

Hehe ;) For extra happiness, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_I4wtNPv5w

[–]Fentia 1 point2 points ago

Thanks :D Bookmarked and listening to it right now!

[–]Krasso 2 points3 points ago*

If possible, i would advise you to use the Spotify version, since that is the streaming platform i am personally using, and therefore have been updating for longer (and still am). :)

[–]Fentia 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, just subscribed to that instead :) Enjoy what i imagine to be an all nighter based on your name :P

[–]targen 0 points1 point ago

Hey, if you have the time, can you also update your grooveshark playlist? I can't access spotify. I heard the playlist that you have and its great!

[–]Krasso 0 points1 point ago

I'll pm you when it is done. Note that the playlists arent completely similar, due to some artists and albums not being on one or of the services.

This rhino one is cute, but the rest look like blatant Far Side ripoffs.

[–]Splinter1010 -5 points-4 points ago

The "rhino one" IS a Far Side comic, just in color.

[–]Bodie1550 3 points4 points ago

Sweet & kinda sad at the same time.

[–]phyllox 8 points9 points ago

reminds me of this rhino

[–]CherrySueDointheDo 1 point2 points ago

I spent a good 2 minutes trying to see round that. Feckin vodka...

[–]cplawhun 0 points1 point ago

This made my night :)

[–]Splinter1010 30 points31 points ago

Far Side is where I remember first seeing this, but it wasn't in color.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

I'm pretty sure last time this was posted it was determined that there never was a Far Side comic. There is an "original" black and white version... by the same artist. This color version was used as the cover of one of his books. People just remember a black and white cartoon and misremember it as being Gary Larson.

I could be wrong, in which case I encourage someone to produce the original Far Side strip that this is supposedly ripping off.

[–]GBFel -3 points-2 points ago

I swear there was a Far Side just like this. I've never seen the picture OP linked to, and I have a pretty good memory for images and the like. I looked through the Far Side books I own and couldn't find it, though I used to check others out from the library and I read it in the paper for years and years along with a few of those flip calendar things. I know it's out there, but so are probably thousands of his cartoons to wade through to find it.

[–]douglaz999 3 points4 points ago

Came here to say the same thing. Nice spot.

[–]Splinter1010 -4 points-3 points ago

Thank you. I've been reading Far Side since I was eight, and I still spot something new that makes me laugh every time I read books with the panels in it.

[–]PPPthats3Ps 8 points9 points ago

The Rhinoceros's perception of art is amazing. This is pure art. I'll pay $150,000 for the one he is finishing in this photograph

[–]idonotcollectstamps 1 point2 points ago

Maybe the Rhino horn traders are trying to help the Rhinos see better?

[–]bob-leblaw 1 point2 points ago

And now I notice my nose again.

[–]too_many_upvotes 1 point2 points ago

Suddenly, I am now aware of the fact that my nose is within my field of vision.

[–]dorrish 1 point2 points ago

A lot of people are saying this is a rip-off from a Far Side comic, but could somebody actually post the Far Side comic so we can see the original?

[–]faustzanuff 1 point2 points ago

umwelt

[–]nuisible 1 point2 points ago

You know you see your nose every second of the day, your brain just edits it out of your vision normally. Look down and then close one eye.

[–]mysticdickstick 1 point2 points ago

WRONG....the brain inherently eliminates the nose out of the field of view.

[–]Spacehoes[!] 1 point2 points ago

Is that originally a farside comic?

[–]xyroclast 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but everyone who's pointed it out has gotten downvoted through the floor.

Are those angry birds in the pairing to the far left corner

[–]remedialrob 1 point2 points ago

Still life bowl of fruit. You are seeing an apple (red Bird) and a pear (yellow bird).

[–]JJaysNotHome 0 points1 point ago

You are correct on further inspection, wow I genuinely saw angry birds the first time haha

They don't have much overlap in their eyes' respective visual fields like we do. In all likelihood, his painting would look like a panorama to us.

[–]B-rad5166 0 points1 point ago

At first glance I thought the painting in the bottom left was of "Angry Birds".

[–]Metriste 0 points1 point ago

Took me way longer than it should have, but I was having a shitty day and this made me smile. Thanks, OP.

[–]Obi_wan_The_cannoli 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the kind of comic that Gary Larson would draw, but its not his art style.

[–]dondox 0 points1 point ago

I lol'ed.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I thought that it was a Dali reference. Horns are subconsciously pretty phallic to an unaware audience.

[–]Armyless 0 points1 point ago

Yup. That comic pretty much sums up every religious zealot and political activist.

[–]sturmeh 0 points1 point ago

I felt bad for a little bit there, then I remembered rhino's can't paint. :(

[–]tangoshukudai 0 points1 point ago

He wouldn't need to draw it because it would be in the painting regardless, since it is still in front of his face.

[–]magicarpet 0 points1 point ago

There used to be this really dumb show on Nickelodeon (I think) where they were puppets living in this little village and in the opening credits of they did this same gag. The idiot of the group is shown painting a landscape and doing that thing where the painter does a "thumbs up" gesture towards the scene (for perspective or something? I don't know), but when the camera pans to the canvas, it's just a painting of his thumb instead of a landscape.

I would tag any person who could tell me the name of this show as a gentleman/lady and a scholar.

[–]elmombaker 0 points1 point ago

THAT WAS POSTED 2 DAYS AGO BY A GUY WHO ONLY GOT 46 KARMA! AND THAT WAS A RE-RE-POST. THIS MAKES YOURS A RE-RE-RE-POST. THERE'S EVEN A WHOLE WEBSITE (WHICH I CAN'T FIND ATM) DEDICATED TO THIS COMIC. YOU HAVE A DUTY AS A REDITER TO UPVOTE THIS GUY.

[–]Pharose -3 points-2 points ago

This is false. Rhinos, along with most open plains herbivores, have their eyes on the side of their head to give a much wider field of view. Many herbivores cannot see directly in front of them, and a rhino can barely see his own horn.

[–]HeLovesGermanBeeeer 4 points5 points ago

Also, I'm pretty sure rhinos can't paint at that level :-/

Has it really been that long since this was on the front page? If I remember right it is going to be followed with a website that places a rhino horn in front of any webpage you go to...
