 Outstanding examples of biting and accurate parody of the human and animal worlds |

| 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. |

| Always funny and kind of twisted at the same time. It's never dull and is almost always funny. |
MOST TOXIC INK I EVER ENCOUNTERED IN PRINTED MATERIAL

| Review Date: November 2, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Ben Franklin, Oregon |
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 anything printed.
It is printed in China, but so are a lot of innocuous books I've read. i.e. Maybe I just got a batch wreaking of shipping container fumigant or some other contaminant - who knows?
Plant-based ink doesn't bother me, but even petro-based ink never gave me a migraine this severe, lasting this long. |
Way out far side

| 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! |

| The book was shipped promptly but was a little bent at the corners. More "good" then "like new". But over all I was satisfied. |
