Description
The Far Side by Gary Larson is one of the most legendary and recognisable single-panel comics in cartoon history. Syndicated in over 1,900 daily newspapers worldwide from 1980 to 1995, it became famous for its quirky humour, offbeat characters, and wonderfully bizarre take on everyday life, animals, science, and human nature.
Over its 15-year run, The Far Side spawned 22 books, translated into 17 languages, and picked up multiple prestigious awards — including the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist in 1991 and 1994, and Best Syndicated Panel in 1985 and 1987 from the National Cartoonists Society.
Gary Larson’s knack for finding humour in the absurd and mundane, often with cows, aliens, cavemen, and scientists thrown in, still has a devoted following today. A must-have for fans of sharp, clever, and wonderfully weird cartoon comedy.
