Review
Cartoonist Gary Larson may have retired, but his work is good enough to revisit time and again. It doesn't matter that you've seen many of these cartoons before- they continue to refract the wider world. Hotels should put Larson collections on bedside tables. Here you will find entertainment- and of course laughter. ABERDEEN EVENING EXPRESS What can one say about a Gary Larson annual except "Thank goodness he's still producing them?" JERSEY EVENING POST

My sister-in-law gave me this book as a gift. It stayed in my bathroom for a couple of years and I've probably read every page at least 5 times. He's a comic genius!
Format:Paperback
Larsen is the world's greatest cartoonist. Too bad he retired. I have envelopes filled with his cartoons clipped out of the newspaper (10+ years ago!) that I still can't bear to throw away. So I suppose this book was a good idea. It will take up less space than several bulging envelopes.
For younger people who can't remember his cartoons in the paper every day, you need to hurry up and start collecting his books so you can always be within arm's length of a smile or a laugh.
Also, I love the story about the "Jane Goodall Cartoon"

AN EXTREMELY FUNNY COLLETION...
Gary Larson's off-sided humour is definatley one of a kind. If you only laugh once, it's worth it!! (But, I feel you'll find a lot more than one funny!) TRUST ME!!!

Funny and intelligent!
Mixing great artwork with excellent imagination and humor, Gary Larson's Far Side galleries, including this one, is a stroke of genius. Great writing, too!
