Excellent humor. You have to understand it. ( )

Still fun but no longer groundbreaking. ( )

Various of Gary Larson's gag cartoons from the early days of the Far Side's run.

It's not as good as later material but definitely a potent read - the weird, outlandish humor is there. A good starting point for getting into the crazy universe of the Far Side. ( )

I’ve always been a Larson fan, so I thought I’d check out the collected Far Sides. They make a nice brain cleanser before bed. A few laughs, a little irony, or a lot. Good times. The main thing that tickles me, though, is that I was 2 years old when this book was published. I don’t feel old at all anymore. ( )

As always, Gary Larson delivers. The Far Side is funny, provocative, and insightful, like all of Larson's books. Unfortunately, as with most comics strips, it's either all or nothing, love it or hate it. If you like Larson, then you are guaranteed to love this book. If you don't care for Larson...why are you here? ( )
