The PreHistory of The Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit (Far Side Series)

Was there life before "The Far Side?" This fabulous narrative by Gary Larson, including hundreds of cartoons, explores the most fundamental question of our day, providing a telescopic view of both the dark and the light sides of the mysterious universe of Gary Larson. Andrews, McMeel & Parker. The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from January 1, 1980, to January 1, 1995. Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life. Larson's frequent use of animals and nature in the comic is popularly attributed to his background in biology. Reruns are still printed in many newspapers. The Far Side was ultimately carried by more than 1,900 daily newspapers, translated into 17 languages, and collected into calendars and 23 compilation books. - Wikipedia.
