The Far Side® Gallery

Gary Larson

The Far Side® Gallery is a collection of cartoons by Gary Larson, originally published in several volumes between 1984 and 1995. The book contains more than 160 of Larson's amusing and often bizarre single-panel cartoons, each one reveling in the absurdity of life, science, nature, and human behavior.

Some of the most memorable Far Side cartoons include a cow sitting on a couch watching TV, a group of deer staring blankly into the headlights of a car, and aliens conducting bizarre experiments on humans. Larson's humor is often dark and irreverent, but always hilarious, with a distinctive style that has made him one of the most beloved cartoonists of all time.

One of the things that makes The Far Side® Gallery so enduringly popular is its ability to appeal to a wide range of readers. Larson's cartoons are witty and clever, but they don't rely on pop culture references or topical humor that may quickly go out of date.

Instead, they tap into universal truths about human nature, animal behavior, and the mysteries of the natural world to create a timeless collection of cartoons that continue to delight readers of all ages. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or discovering it for the first time, The Far Side® Gallery is a must-read for anyone who loves to laugh. Description by ChatGPT.
