Author: Gary Larson
Title: The Far Side Observer
Description: Andrews McMeel Publishing 1987 Paperback, 100pp. The eighth collection of THE FAR SIDE. â€oeIn an age when black humour is a lost art, Larson’s cartoon is an island of insanity, offering us the perspective of a world where the unreal is normal and vice versa. Its message deep down is a dark one – something about taking ourselves too seriously and strutting around as if we own the place.â€� – Peter Richmond, Rolling Stone â€oeLarson communicates a great deal of information in a few simple ink lines. The expressions of his characters are vivid and immediately recognizable. And with just a strand of beads and a pair of harlequin glasses, he can somehow transfer any animal – a shark, a bug, a warthog – into a dowdy suburban hausfrau.â€� Los Angeles Times â€oeTHE FAR SIDE is a continuum of the unexpected – less a comic strip than a sort of laugh-inducing Mobius strip, where surprises are endlessly surfacing as No Big Deal.â€� – West Magazine (-back cover). (ISBN: 9780836220988). Fair.
