Comic Strip Collection
The Far Side Gallery 3
by Gary Larson
Andrews McMeel Publishing (1988), Edition: Reprint, 192 pages
I love the Far Side so much. This collection is perfect. Each cartoon is funny, clever and insightful. I wish it included more diverse characters and stories. Other wise so many of these make me just laugh out loud. ( )

Another hilarious and fantastic collection of Far Side cartoons. There's a lot of the classics in this one (like the school of the gifted gag with the kid pushing instead of pulling, etc.)

Unfortunately a whole page was ripped in half. Gotta love library books. ( )

Oh, books of my past.

I grew up reading these comics and giggling to myself. Every time I come back to them I understand some of the more 'adult' and scientific jokes and puns and the comics only get more enjoyable.

So simple, so laughable ( )

Another used book store visit, another Far Side book purchased, and now, read. I had to head to the Iliad, the used book shop in North Hollywood, to pick up a children's book to donate in lieu of a birthday present. While there, I happened to pick up this book, and the Get Fuzz book Take Our Cat, Please. I of course enjoyed - and I think this may have been the Far Side book I was reading when I visited Calistoga with my parents about 14 years ago ... memories. ( )
