"Every one of these cartoons is just something that drifted into my head when I was alone with my thoughts. And, for better or worse, I 'jotted' them down. It was only later, when perhaps I received an angry letter from someone, that it struck me: Hey Someone's been reading my diary "

Revered by its fans as the funniest, most original, most "What the ... ?"-inspiring cartoon ever, "The Far Side"(R) debuted in January 1980 and enjoyed an illustrious 14 years on the world's comics pages until Gary Larson's retirement in 1994. "The Complete Far Side" celebrates Gary's twisted, irreverent genius in this ultimate "Far Side" book, a lavish production, which takes its place alongside collector's-edition art books.
A masterpiece of comic brilliance, "The Complete Far Side" contains every "Far Side" cartoon every syndicated--over 4,000 if you must know--presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that have never before appeared in a book. Also included are additional "Far Side" cartoons Larson created after his retirement: 13 that appeared in the last "Far Side" book, "Last Chapter and Worse," and six cartoons that periodically ran as a special feature in the" New York Times" Science Times section as "The Far Side of Science." Creator Gary Larson offers a rare glimpse into the mind of "The Far Side" in quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin offers his pithy thoughts in a foreword, and Gary Larson's former editor describes what it was like to be "the guy who could explain every "Far Side" cartoon."
