Description

The Far Side book:  The Complete Far Side, a deluxe two-volume set that contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated - over four thousand - presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication.  Printed in full color on specially milled paper, The Complete Far Side rivals any collector's edition art book and will be the most prized piece in every true Far Side fan's library.


Included in this masterpiece of comic brilliance:



  •         Gary Larson's quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the fourteen chapters, offering a rare glimpse into the mind behind The Far Side

  •         Nineteen additional Far Side cartoons Larson created after his retirement

  •         Hate mail, fan letters and queries from puzzled readers, providing commentary on some of the more provocative or elusive panels

  •         Actor, author and comedian Steve Martin's marvelously pithy forward

  •         Larson's longtime editor's essay describing what it was like to be "the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon"

  •         More than one thousand cartoons that have never before appeared in a book


Boxed set; nearly good as new
