5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner!, April 13, 2000

By	"dybo" (new jersey) - See all my reviews

I'm not sure how Gary Larson continues to write consistently funny books. But, I'm not going to complain. This book has a laugh on every page. Once again there are the hilarious human and animal characters that make up Larson's wacky world. In addition, there is a centerfold of cows of our planet. It is definitely a worthy addition to the Far Side collection. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good laugh in their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor at its best, April 11, 2000

By	"maelstrom1" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews

As with all of the other Far Side collections, Gary Larson brilliantly incorporates his sense of witty humor into his cartoons about life, ranging from cavemen to scientists to cows. There is something for everyone in this book, and I guarantee there will be a few cartoons that you will be tempted to photocopy and post on the bulletin board or fridge door. I am continually amazed at how Larson can make a one-panel cartoon so funny, while other cartoonists can write eight panel cartoons that don't even come near my funny bone. "Cows of Our Planet" striked it right away.

If at any time in your life you feel a little down, stressed, or tired, and need a few laughs -- crack open a Far Side collection like this one and you'll be chuckling in no time. For added humor, check out the colored insert of different 'cows of our planet' from which the collection gets its name. You'll be paying closer attention to the cows grazing in the pasture the next time you drive out into the country :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch for Amazon River Cows, May 7, 2006

By	Lonnie E. Holder "The Review's the Thing" (Columbus, Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book takes its name from the full color fold-out centerfold showing an array of cows, many of which are rarely seen; some of which are extinct. Included in this dubious display of bovine beasts is the rare, but deadly Amazon River Cow. Then there is the Skyscraper Suckerfoot and the Tennessee Portaford. Unfortunately, not all of these are all that funny, but some are entertaining.

Fortunately, the rest of the book contains some classic Far Side comics. Farmer MacDougal suddenly realizes that his collie Shep has gotten just a little too sociable for the good of Farmer MacDougal's sheep and beer. We learn what happens to young cowpokes who actually attempt to ride into the sunset. We also get to see brave archeologists discover the mummy's purse! Ever wonder what happens to Boot Hill when the gunfighters wear high heels?

On the down side, "The Complete Far Side 1980-1994" collects all these comics. Though that collection is quite expensive, it is cheaper to buy that collection than to buy all the individual Far Side collections. On the other hand, the paperback books, such as this one, are certainly easier to handle and read.

I have always enjoyed Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons. I am only sorry that he retired from the strip. Perhaps one day he will regal us again with stories of the animal and human kingdom. Enjoy!

These cartoons are hysterical; my particular favorites are those that involve puns or wordplay. For example, on page 62 the illustration features clowns and flying pies. Read more
