The Far Side

by Gary Larson

About the book

Gary Larson's single-panel cartoons place cows, cavemen, scientists, insects, snakes, and aliens in absurd situations, often with a captioned line that turns an ordinary scene on its head. A recurring joke imagines what animals say and think when humans are not around. This collection gathers early strips and shows his deadpan drawing style.

Fans of dry, offbeat humour will want it for a quick laugh. It also works as a book for biology teachers and anyone who likes cartoons that need no explanation beyond the picture.
