Ilustration In Favor Of Books The PreHistory of The Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit
I admit that I was waiting for this book to go on clearance before I pulled the trigger on it. I waited for it for almost a year and it was worth the wait!The Far Side was a slice of life cartoon that showcased Gary Larson often twisted humor. I always wondered how he made those cartoons and why cows and dogs?
This book answers that question. It's not so much a collection of strips so much so as it is Larson's thoughts and views on how the strips came about. It has a lot of strips and he also included some rarities and as well as rejected strips. He explains the background of those rejected pieces and he features some of his favorites as well.
If you're a fan of The Far Side, this is an important resource for you.

I've always wanted to know the story behind The Far Side, the process behind Larson creating specific panels. And now I do.

I loved this comic when it was a daily in the local paper. Some of them were a bit risque, and some were protested due to differing views. Gary Larson always made me laugh, even though occasionally there was a eww at the end due to the creatures used in that days comic, never been a huge fan of bugs. I wish he was still writing/drawing this comic. The book shows his early comic called "Nature Way" and continues on to the more popular Far Side. He shows some concept art for a few of the finished
As much as I love reading, both fiction and non, I rarely find someone else's artistic process or the genesis and evolution of their art interesting in and of itself. Gary Larson is a major exception, and this book gives succinct and hilarious insights into his career and thought processes. I can't remember the last time I smiled so much or laughed so hard from a book (probably the last time a Far Side Gallery book was published).Larson's wit is utterly unique & macabre, while exuding a love
Good times!!Love these comics.Always chuckling to myself when reading them.
A stand-out collection, gathering cartoons from the first ten years. I love Larson's work so I'm biased, but this is very highly recommended!
Say, what? I don't give 5 stars to mere comic strip books. Ah, but this one has a difference. The book has the conceit of pretending to be a museum exhibit, and it works beautifully. Gary Larson is the curator, and in different part of the exhibit we see the origin of THE FAR SIDE, ways the panel evolved, some fascinating mistakes Larson made along the way and great panels that were published before some dunderheads in the world were ready to accept them, and finally Larson's own favorite
