The Far Side: The Complete Works by Gary Larson

£100! £100!

I don't think I'll bother. Larson is very hit and miss and this is, like all complete works, for the real fan. A lot of his humour I don't get. That said, a lot I appreciate from a biologist's perspective. I think the fact that he is a cartoonist with a science background (and there can't be too many of those) means he uses subjects that other cartoonists won't (and indeed in some cases can't) explore. What was that book about the worms he wrote? A full colour book with a story to it - I can't remember tht title but it was very funny and clever. My ex had a copy. The book had a serious side to it in that it played with human squeamishness and explored the double standards which we so often apply to the natural world.

as a general rule tho, I prefer condensed Larson - I always appreciate a Larson greetings card or calendar, where the man's work is filtered down to a kind of "greatest hits" I suppose. And my favourite of all (and I suspect a lot of people's)

"CAR!"

I think about both of these on a pretty much daily basis

i say 'same planet, different worlds' in a dreamy regretful fashion in one conversation or another at least once a week

Great news !

When I worked in biochemistry labs in the early 90s, it seemed like 1 to 3 Far Side cartoons were an obligatory complement to the refrigerator or lab doors. I wonder if this is still true.

Surely xkcd?

I like them!
