Summary: This is a special edition Far Side book that I like reading.
Comment: This is a very special Far Side book that has several Far Side comics from the time when Larson's comics were in the newspaper and thirteen new comics that have never been published in a Far Side book before. Some of Larson's funniest comics are in this book! Join Saton, the Cows, the Cowboys, Morty the Sloth, Aunt Zelda and all the rest of the Far Side characters in the last book ever made by Gary Larson. Recommended for Far Side fans and collecters who want to have a big laugh.

Summary: Probably is the worst Farside book but still great
Comment: This isn't Larson's best book but being his last Farside cartoon collection before retirement is a collectors piece. The 140 cartoons in the bulk part of the book contain some classics such as the Inferiority Complex Sufferers cartoon and the ACME Wingbaby cartoon. The majority are good but there are some that you can tell were being left out of earlier books due to their standard. I love the two cartoons on page 80 (the end of the general cartoon section) that tell us The Far Side cartoons were all a dream of a man and the cavemen, cows, nerdy kids all looked like members of his family. The 13 full page cartoons at the back of the book are drawn after retirement and in most cases I would say aren't up to Larson's usual brilliant standard.
There is also an Afterword by Gary Larson that tells a tale his father drew on his kitchen table about a kid in school, drawing a box that becomes a lightbulb then becomes his mum bending over. Interesting story but I would have preferred a few more cartoons.
There are better Far Side collections than this one but if you own the rest you need this to complete your collection. There are plenty of good cartoons here.

Summary: a tearful farewell
Comment: This book is the last six months of Far Side cartoons. Plus 13 new cartoons. They are phenomenal. And now, a moment of silence for The Far Side...
