Wiener Dog Art
is the eleventh collection of The Far
Side comic strips. All comic strips are in black and white. These are
all single shots, not the normal 4 panel comic strips. The Far Side is a
humorous comic strip that appeared in a multitude of newspapers daily.
In the center of the book is an explanation of what Wiener Dog Art was
all about and 8 beautiful color prints of famous wiener dog paintings
and an explanation about each. Some of the artists included were
possibly: Pablo Picasso, Samuel J. Sullivan, Salvador Dali, Edvard
Munch, and many more. There is also a very informative Index in the back
of the book that will help you find a specific comic strip.
The Far Side became very popular in the
early 1980's, and continued into the 1990's, until Gary Larson decided
that he was going to retire the comic strip. It was seen daily in
hundred of newspapers and enjoyed by millions. The Far Side is just as
the name imply...just on the far side of sane. Most of the strips
feature humans, but not all. If an animal is the main character, then
they are usually placed in the shoes of a human. Most of the Far Side
strips deal with the stupid things humans do in every day things. Other
strips deals with things that are just totally wacky. Either way, they
make fun of us and everything we do. And since it is human nature to
laugh at the misfortune of others . . . you will probably find this comic
strip to be very funny.
