The Far Side® Gallery Paperback – January 1, 1984

This book of one panel observational humor cartoons is a masterpiece. And a nostalgia mountain. It’s not that I remember any of the cartoons specifically, but having those moments of reflection on what is going on in each panel is the nostalgic moment. Thinking differently and filling in the gaps with your interpretation is so fun and wildly humorous.They were cheap enough that I bought some for my high school friends.However, if I put this into n the hands of kids today, they often don’t get what’s happening in the pictures. They can’t fill in the gaps…to literal.

This book is full of very humorous comics.The comics bring a very different view of how we might see and interpret situations.Each page is full of very different situations.If you have read any of the authors books you will understand, if you haven't then this is a must purchase so you can understand his humor.

I spend time coloring my favorite comics. You definitely find that there are themes and that just makes it all the better. I want to get all of these and color them just for more enjoyment.

I love The Far Side! This book has a great collection! Highly recommended for lots of laughs!

You can never go wrong with The Far Side! No matter how many times you look, it’s always funny. Bought as gift for friend who will be laid up for a few weeks who surely has seen all of these but he is still laughing like it’s the first time!

This book was like a blast from the past! I’ve missed Gary Larson’s style of comedy since he went on sabbatical.

I’ve been reading the Farside comics as a kid and used to remember opening up the newspaper waiting for that weekly comic, and now having them in the book makes it all so much better if you’ve never seen these comics before they are definitely an easy read they are one picture with sometimes 1 to 3 sentences

Since I'm a bit of a Gary Larson fan, I already had many of these cartoons .. from the original books... so the "Gallery" edition was probably not the best choice for me. However, if you don't already have the individual books, the Gallery edition is a nice compilation for you.
