Also included is a rare glimpse into the mind of Far Side creator Gary Larson, with his quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Still want more? Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers round out this eclectic and definitive collection of what many people consider the most side-splitting cartoon of all time. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin writes the delightful and pithy foreword, and Larson's former editor describes what it was like to be "the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon." It's everything you could want from The Far Side - and much, much more! Revered by fans as the funniest, most original, most "What the ...?" - inspiring cartoon ever, The Far Side last appeared over nine years ago and still boasts millions of rabid devotees. During its 14-year run, the cartoon was syndicated internationally in more than 1,900 daily newspapers, translated into 17 different languages, and spawned 22 Far Side books. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Great in all aspectsNov 15, 2009
The first aspect that you will notice is the quality of the paper and printing,
then comes the best: year after years of Gary Larson humor packed in a two volume box!
If you are simply a cartoon fan then don't worry... buy it!

The Far Side.Sep 12, 2009
This is about the best set of cartoons ever if you have a warped sense of humor like I do. Our local paper ran The Far Side for several years but then dropped it. I was happy to see someone finally put all the cartoons in a book. I also bought an really liked Dilbert which has now been published in a book.
AWESOME COLLECTOR SET!Sep 11, 2009
We bought this for our son for his birthday~~something he had been hinting around for many weeks. He was delighted to receive the boxed set.
Thank-You for the prompt delivery and the excellent description of the item.
