Book Description

Publication Date: September 15, 1995

A collective wail was heard earlier this year when readers of 1,900 newspapers discovered that Gary Larson was bowing out of daily cartooning. But fear not! Politically correct swamp monsters, fortune-telling chickens, boxing crabs, cows relaxing in a hay bar, and other creatures wrought from the imagination of this notoriously warped and wonderful wit come into readers' lives once again in his latest collection of uniquely wacky cartoons.

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gary Larson is the Best, period, August 13, 2001

Adam (Eden Prairie, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Far Side Gallery 5 (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars I AM A LARSEN JUNKIE!!! I NEED MORE!!!, July 17, 2002

George Stancliffe (Toppenish, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Far Side Gallery 5 (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"
