Humor and Biology--A Good Mix
Gary Larson has teamed up with Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist and taxonomist --Harvard University, to create a biologically funny book. Humor has a purpose in this book. It is used in an attempt to cause the reader to think biologically on a macrocosmic level. Social interaction of all animals on the smallest level effects the bigger picture. I enjoyed this...

MOST TOXIC INK I EVER ENCOUNTERED IN PRINTED MATERIAL
About one minute of exposure to the inside print ink (could be paper too, but was probably the ink) gave me a migraine within a couple of minutes, that lasted more than a 24-hour day.
I am severely chemically sensitive to multiple varieties of chemicals (mostly man-made synthetics), but was never exposed to ink this toxic, not in newsprint, laser copy, or...

Humor and Biology--A Good Mix, December 6, 1999
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
Gary Larson has teamed up with Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist and taxonomist --Harvard University, to create a biologically funny book. Humor has a purpose in this book. It is used in an attempt to cause the reader to think biologically on a macrocosmic level. Social interaction of all animals on the smallest level effects the bigger picture. I enjoyed this book very much; however, a few cartoons were biologically "over my head." With some critical thinking, all readers may be able to get the message of all the cartoons.

Better masterpieces here than in that museum in Paris, May 2, 2003
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
With a cow Mona Lisa painting on the front cover how can you go wrong? The cartoons in here are from Hound of the Far Side, The Far Side Observer and Night of the Crash Test Dummies. It may be cheaper to buy these books individually instead of this gallery so compare prices before purchasing.The advantage of owning the galleries is that some cartoons are full page size which is three times the size of the original books. Not all cartoons are full size though just some. The classic cartoon set in an exam with the bonus question (50 points) "What's the name of that thing that hangs down the back of our throats?" The caption underneath states "Final Page of the Medical Boards," is in this edition. Another has Noah saying "Now Listen Up. We're Going to do This Alphabetically," the Zebras are thinking "Damn!" The Classic "Drive George! Drive! This One's Got a Coathanger!" with a lion trying to unlock the car door to eat the woman. Should you buy it? Of course you should.

I laughed till I cried !, May 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
Gary Larson's homour is unique and incredibly funny - and this is true for all his books that I've read so far! I already start laughing when looking at the cartoon characters - they are wonderfully drawn! If cows or chickens are your favourite animals and you like grotesque situations, or you simply want to laugh, then Gary Larson should be your first choice. He's the best!!!!!

Outstanding examples of biting and accurate parody of the human and animal worlds, April 17, 2010
In the foreword, noted zoologist Stephen Jay Gould comments on how popular the Gary Larson cartoons are with biologists. When reading the book, it is easy to see why; Larson does an excellent job in his satire of science and the people that do it. They are hilarious, yet as is always the case in the best of parody, contain more than a little truth. Light hearted with a little bite, these cartoons are expressions of absurdity that point out the inherent absurdity of the modern world and human and animal nature.

The Far Side Gallery 3, November 3, 2009
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
Always funny and kind of twisted at the same time. It's never dull and is almost always funny.

Way out far side, March 14, 2009
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
The Far Side was always one of my favorite cartoons! I bought all three volumes and it was worth it! Great stuff! I just wish Larson would come out of retirement for a while! It's a pity I can't give it more than five stars!

Far side 3, February 7, 2009
This review is from: The Far Side ® Gallery 3 (Paperback)
The book was shipped promptly but was a little bent at the corners. More "good" then "like new". But over all I was satisfied.
