books by Gary Larson     books:       The Far Side ®6 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1982 A Gary Larson Classic. Maybe this book does not contain so many "hits" as others, but it is still a good old Gary Larson Classic. I am a huge fan of his work and I think it is worth buying and reading. Among other things to find out, what REALLY happened with Dorothy and co., when they enetered the yellow road.             The Far Side ® Gallery 410 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1993 A different meaning for "All Creatures Great and Small". This book is a real HOOT! I guess the thing that makes Larson's cartoons so different is that his mind is just a little further off in space than where most of ours dwell. Reading a whole book of these cartoons is a very different thing from looking at individual cartoons over an extended period.After 10-15 pages your mind tends to get climatized to this thought process and his cartoons ...             THE FAR SIDE GALLERY: NO. 210 reviews GARY LARSON TIME WARNER PAPERBACKS, 1991 Like all good galleries this only contains masterpieces The Far Side Galleries are literature's version of greatest hits CDs. This edition is even forwarded by Stephen King. The artistic masterpieces in this one come from the books Brides of The Far Side, Valley of the Far Side and It Came From the Far Side. It may be cheaper to buy these books individually instead of this gallery so compare prices before purchasing. The advantage of owning the ...             Valley Of The Far Side1 review Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1985 Best commic I have ever read My English and my background to understand Larson's humor are not the best but anytime I grab one of his books from my self I crack with the old jokes I have read many times. Each time I find a new sense and a new kind of humor, and all depends on my animus and circunstances. If someday I don't crack with a single one, I'll know my illusion for the common things of life and my youth have ...             There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story64 reviews Gary Larson Harper Paperbacks, 1999 A hilarious science lesson I know this is marketed as a "young adult" book, and certainly my 7th-grade daughter loved it. I have to say, though, that I was laughing out loud on most pages! The story format allows Larson to develop a much deeper and more subtle level of humor than in a single-panel Far Side cartoon. Throughout it all, Larson delivers a valuable lesson in forest ecology, showing how much of what we ...             It Came From The Far Side ®2 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1986 Classic Larson cartoons. Hilarious. These are some of the funniest Far Side cartoons. This is probably the funniest Far Side collection, in my opinion. A must have for any real Far Side fan.             THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EXHIBIT39 reviews GARY LARSON (ILLUSTRATOR) TIME WARNER PAPERBACKS, 1991 Essential book for "Far Side" fans So you've got the massive two-volume "Complete Far Side" and figure you're all set, Gary Larson-wise.

The book has a discussion of how his career as a cartoonist got started and has examples of his previous effort, a one-newspaper comic in the same style ...             Night of the Crash-Test Dummies1 review Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1988 Night Of The Crash Test Dummies rocks!!!

Larson may well have retired a while ago but the power of these works of brilliance to make the reader laugh will never fade. There have been many who have copied Larson's style but I have never come across anyone else who has even come close to achieving ...             The Complete Far Side 1980-1994 (2 vol set)222 reviews Gary Larson, Steve Martin Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2003 A Masterpiece Of Comic Brillance "Every one of these cartoons is just something that drifted into my head when I was alone with my thoughts. And, for better or worse, I `jotted them down. It was only later, when perhaps I received an angry letter from someone, that it struck me: Hey! Some one's been reading my diary!" Gary Larson, from the preface to The Complete Far Side How do you explain 'Far Side'? A brilliant comedic ...             Cows of Our Planet (A Far Side Collection) (Far Side Series)8 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1992 Watch for Amazon River Cows 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. ...             The Far Side ® Gallery 511 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1995 I AM A LARSEN JUNKIE!!! I NEED MORE!!! 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 ...             The Chickens Are Restless7 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1993 More Subtle Gary Larson Humor This 1993 compilation collects about 361 Far Side illustrations. I found this collection to be a bit less riotous than some others of Larson's collections, and in many cases I had to think more to understand the joke. For example, there is an illustration showing workers in a chicken processing factory. It took me a moment to realize that there was a basket on the wall with a "GIZZARDS" ...             The New Unger's Bible Handbook7 reviews Merrill Unger, Gary Larson Moody Publishers, 2005 Every Shelf Needs this book! The New Unger's Bible Handbook is a wonderful resource tool. It is user friendly but also gives the more experienced Bible scholar indepth information and stimulating insights. I am more than pleased with my purchase and will probably add this to my gift giving list for Christmas.             The Far Side ® Gallery 39 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1988 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 book very much; however, a ...             Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat19 reviews Morrell Gipson Purple House Press, 2000 Smor What a delightful book. Loved how the story evolved about a destructive bear and how the other animals managed to get the better of him. The pictures are bright and cheery, and the story made me laugh. Was a gift to my grandson. The title is crazy but it brought a laugh to my grandson and he made me read it right away -- several times.             Wiener Dog Art: A Far Side Collection12 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1990 The funniest cartoons ever! Gary Larsen was born with a talent. Yes, drawing is his talent, but coupled with that is his inherent ability to entertain, to amuse, to delight. In short, Gary Larsen is an entertaining artist. Look no further than "Weiner Dog Art." The first 48 pages contain Larsen's standard (quirky and bizarre by others) cartoon art. For example, the boss is shaking hands with a client and says, "OK, ...             Unnatural Selections6 reviews Gary Larson Andrews and McMeel, 1991 Laugh your thorax off! 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 ...             Wildlife Preserves3 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1989 Wildlife Preserves: A semi-true Far Side collection Wildlife Preserves, the 10th Far Side Collection is a very informitive book. I bought it because The Far Side is my favorite comic strip and I have 10 others. But, I never thought I could learn so much from a comic strip. I found out about Cowmen Miranda and the woolly watermelon. I learned about when naturalists found The Seccret Chipmunk Burial Grounds and how the spitting cobras live at ...             Last Chapter and Worse14 reviews Gary Larson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1996 Far Side Goodbye MUST HAVE For those of you Larson~FarSiders like me, this is a must have. You need to love and see FarSide on your daily life to understand and enjoy Larson's humor. This last book has more of what we all wished he could and would continue giving us. On a scale of one to ten farsides, and compared to previous FarSide books, this one is an "8".
