A masterpiece of comic brilliance, The Complete Far Side contains every Far Side cartoon every syndicated-over 4,000 if you must know-presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that have never before appeared in a book. Also included are additional Far Side cartoons Larson created after his retirement: 13 that appeared in the last Far Side book, Last Chapter and Worse, and six cartoons that periodically ran as a special feature in the New York Times Science Times section as The Far Side of Science. Creator Gary Larson offers a rare glimpse into the mind of The Far Side in quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin offers his pithy thoughts in a foreword, and Gary Larson's former editor describes what it was like to be "the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon."

Crazy Far Side
I couldn't be happier when I received this enormous boxed set to replace one that I lost in a house fire last year. Thanks again for the quick turnaround. If you people are interested in Mr. Larson and his craziness --- get it !

Yes!
The Complete Farside. If you are familiar with The Farside,nothing more needs to be said! If you aren't familiar with it: this set is for anyone who's sense of humor is about 23 degrees off normal! Full of puns, sight gags, and "normal" situations, twisted to a different point of view. I mourned the day I heard Gary Larson had stopped the 'toon, but now, I have something to live for!

Cavemen, Dinosaurs, and Scientists oh my!
One of the most enjoyable exhibits I viewed at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum (Washington, D.C.) was a collection of Mr gary Larson original drawings. It was the perfect setting for these treasures. Scientists, cavemen, and dinosaurs Oh My!
This collection is a must have for people who love comics. While some might argue that Mr Larson's point of view is eccentric it reveals an a true artist (that not only thinks but has a big heart!) He loves his characters even when he puts them in strange circumstance.
There is not a review that can really do justice to the work contained within these volumes. You have to see it for yourself. Because you would not believe me if I tried to explain it to you. Ok. A scientist (you know this because they all have white jackets with pens in the top pocket) is intently working on a missile. Another Scientist is walking up from behind with a paper bag ready to pop it! That is why seeing is necessary. Besides the two volume set is so heavy that it can hold up a broken bookcase by itself!
Sincerely yours, means Johnston III
