5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh your thorax off!, February 18, 2003

How does one write a review for a Gary Larson book? With an example: if you've ever laughed so hard at a cartoon that you burst your second stomach, be prepared to do it again. Gary Larson's cartoons are strange humor, brilliant, and sometimes gives people dangerous belly-laughs. This book is themed around animals, (including people, (including cave people)) and space aliens. There is a short series of great color paintings in the center, depicting the various ages of life on Earth, including the hilarious "Age of Invertebrates", to the future world where Gary predicts cows will be the dominant species. If you're not familiar with Gary, you should check out the preview and see for yourself. He is the Master, but we're not sure of what. This book is hilarious.

Why should you pick up Unnatural Selections when you have all the Galleries. Because in the center of this book you'll find, full-page in full color on glossy pages. It's the evolution of life as only Gary Larson can tell it.

Yet more of Gary Larson's off the wall humour for fans to enjoy. Larson's cartoons are certainly not mainstream but for anyone who loves humour that is a little bit different this book is a delight. Quirky artwork abounds, as do the bizarre scenarios of Larson's world. One of the few cartoonists that can make me laugh out loud.... brilliant!
