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!

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"

--George Stancliffe

gary larson is one he best cartoonists ever! you have to travel to the far side! all of his comics will have you thinking! its great! buy it, you'll love it!

We've all seen Far Side cartoons, stuck on office doors and cubicle walls, and said, "I don't get it." Then we've learned a little and come back, this time laughing raucously. This book is filled with all sorts of Far Side gems, most of which any average yutz can find hilarious. If you like the Far Side, or if you just like a glimpse at that which is odd, warped, and mind-bending (or, in other terms, Larsonesque), you should have this book.

Something unique happens whenever you read one of Gary Larson's Far Side collections. You find yourself thinking! How often can you say that about a one panel comic strip. Larson's ingenious humor can make people laugh who don't even have a clue about what they're laughing at!

All I can say is that if you haven't visited The Far Side...then get there today! And once you do...you'll want to come back again and again and again.

Gotcha!

There isnt much to say in a review of this book, except that if you buy this book i GUARANTEE you'll buy the other 4!!! There absolutely excelent. The funniest cartoon of all of them is the one with a chimpanzee picking stuff off her husbands back and saying "Another blonde hair, eh? Doing a little extra research with that Jane Goodall tramp?"....and thats just the tip of the iceberg! Enjoy!

Gary Larson is the funniest drawer I have ever seen. I got the desk 2001 calendar and got hooked on the comics right away. I now own Far side galleries 4 & 5. I am looking forward to buying more books. Buy this book if you enjoy insane yet funny sophisticated comics. Jake S.

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!!!

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!
