I love comic strips. I buy the Sunday news just to read the Comic section. I own a vast collection of Garfield, Calvin and Hobbs, Baby Blues, and of course The Farside comics. Too bad it doesn't show in the newspapers anymore but I was thrilled I could relieve the moments in his last Farside Gallery. If you like comics, check it out. Gary Larson is different from other Cartoonists. He has this eye that not many possess. He switches places with animals, scientists, and other goons and let me tell you, you are glad you switched. Because his comics are brilliant. I don't know how much you know about the art of comics, but Gary is a Genius, A real genius. Usually a comic strip has its punchline at the end of the panel. Most usually make a whole story in different panels, just to give you the hint. But not Larson, no. In one single panel, his favorite form, he makes you laugh, and hard. One would think of the limitations he has for just a single panel cartoon, but this teqnique has allowed him to become so much better at his work. In this Gallery, you will see both his types, multiple panel and single panel. Some are full page color panels that will make you want to tear and frame. But don't. Its a keeper. Highly reccomended book. A++Read full review
My husband wanted something funny he could share with his friends during this Corona time. It fits the bill. He cuts out funny stories, and mails them to his friends and relatives.

A lot of the basis of the humor is a bit dated at this point, so this may not appeal much to people that were born after the 90s or so, but still lots of great, classic content.
