The Far Side is the very first
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.
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 implies...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.
I fell in love with this
daily comic the first time I read it. I remember grabbing the paper,
flipping to the funny papers, and looking for my two favorite comic
strips; The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. Either one of these could
always brings a chuckle to my lips. I love the wackiness of this strip.
Back in my old college days, I used to cut out these comic strips and
tape them to the outside of my notebooks so I had something funny to
read if the lecture turned out to be really boring. This comic strip got
me through some hard times. So, if you like wacky and funny observances
of human nature, you will love reading this book. |
