\u201cMidvale School for the Gifted\u201d originally ran on November 24, 1986. Gary Larson’s comic strip, “The Far Side,” frequently revisits certain themes and motifs, ranging from bovine humor to tales of the Wild West and extraterrestrial adventures. Yet, one of the most beloved backdrops for his humor was undoubtedly the classroom, where he placed his quirky characters in all sorts of absurd educational scenarios.<\/p>\n

In what might be considered one of the pinnacle strips from “The Far Side” – and certainly one of the fan favorites – we see the return of the Nerdy Kid, now enrolled in an elite school for the exceptionally bright. However, even the brightest minds have their off moments, and here, in a classic Larson twist, he’s humorously oblivious, pushing with all his might on a door clearly marked “Pull”. This comic has become one of the most celebrated and circulated pieces from Larson’s collection.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":1421,"height":1666,"file":"2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School.png","filesize":3492912,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-256x300.png","width":256,"height":300,"filesize":130039,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-256x300.png"},"large":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-873x1024.png","width":873,"height":1024,"filesize":1294678,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-873x1024.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-128x150.png","width":128,"height":150,"filesize":34149,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-128x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-768x900.png","width":768,"height":900,"filesize":1039701,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-768x900.png"},"1536x1536":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-1310x1536.png","width":1310,"height":1536,"filesize":2521899,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-1310x1536.png"},"wptouch-new-thumbnail":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-144x144.png","width":144,"height":144,"filesize":37484,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-144x144.png"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-300x352.png","width":300,"height":352,"filesize":178541,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-300x352.png"},"responsiveblogily-grid":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-350x230.png","width":350,"height":230,"filesize":143941,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-350x230.png"},"responsiveblogily-slider":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-850x997.png","width":850,"height":997,"filesize":1237585,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-850x997.png"},"responsiveblogily-small":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School-300x180.png","width":300,"height":180,"filesize":96773,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School-300x180.png"},"full":{"file":"Larson-Midvale-School.png","width":1421,"height":1666,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":3077,"source_url":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Larson-Midvale-School.png","filename":"Larson-Midvale-School.png","filesize":3492912,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3080"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"post","id":3077,"href":"https:\/\/novus2.com\/righteouscause\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
