…but it is seriously funny. By the way, anatidaephobia is the fear that “somehow, somewhere, a duck is watching you.” It does seem unlikely that anyone actually suffers from anatidaephobia, because it was invented by Gary Larson, creator of The Far Side, in this strip.

We just introduced our sons to Far Side a week or two ago, and ever since then Max, our cartoonist, has burst out into random fits of laughter, followed by “somehow, somewhere, a duck is watching you.”
It’s a major koinkidink to see the resurrection of this apparently hilarious cartoon.
