I have probably read every Larson book and cartoon out there. I own all the Far Side Gallery books, and the Prehistory of the Far side so when the Last Chapter and Worse came out I behaved predictably.
On the bright side, still hilarious. I miss Larson's (twisted) sense of humor and can still read these over and over, though I'm getting to the point where I may need to put them away for a while...a fairly long while as I am starting to memorize them....oh well.

Some of the most imaginative humour out there, if you can handle comics that have some of the flattest punchlines in existence. The humour can be dry, dull, boring, but it is always hilarious. This is my favourite of his collections.
Far Side strips from the final six months of syndication. Eh. A few smiles, but no guffaws. After 16 years, though (time flies!), it was fun to revisit Larson's characters and off-beat sense of humor again.
I love Gary Larson's comics, though sometimes I just dont get them, which I dont think is due to a bad comic, but mostly due to my limited intellect.
Even so, this is not one of his best compilations, but it is still worthy, and I think my favourite is that of God making or baking earth and he is surrounded by sprinkle cannisters contining 'reptiles', 'trees', 'fish' etc and he has one which he is sprinkling over earth titled 'Jerks' and God's comment is, 'That will make it interesting'.

I am still laughing at the facial expression of the Student Carnivore on page 101.
Reading this last collection of Far Side comics was bitter sweet because they will always have a special place in my heart. Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side were all I read during silent reading time from 2nd grade to 5th grade. Seriously, my desk was full of their various collections. I still hold a grudge against the kid that borrowed The PreHistory of The Far Side and never gave it back (Damn you, Eli!).

One of the funniest!
A bittersweet reading since this collection has the last six months of Far Side's run. However, Larson left at the top of his game with much humor and fun. This is one of the books I reread, along with other Larson books I have, when I need a smile.
Some funny, some not. Kind of a give a little take a little. If you give the effort to understand the joke you take away a smile to brighten up your day.
Reading this collection of Far Side Comic Strips just reminds me how much I miss this comic! The Far Side is one of the best comic strips ever.
The end of the Larson era. Still a great collection of comics that show Larson retired at the top of his game.
Typical Far Side cartoons. If you like Gary Larson's work then you'll enjoy this.
The only one closest to Larson's brilliance is Calvin & Hobbes...another masterpiece.
farside comics are THE BEST EVER!!!!
Gary Larson is really a Genius

Als er een Nobelprijs voor cartoonisten bestond, zou Gary Larson er zeker eentje gekregen hebben. De heerlijkste absurde humor die er te vinden is tussen de zon en pluto, geloof me.
Het enige minpunt is dat zijn humor zeer moeilijk tot niet te vertalen is en dus in 't Engels gelezen moet worden, waardoor hij ten onrechte niet zo gekend is in Europa.
Oh, baai de wee: cartoon van hem online gooien levert je gegarandeerd een proces op. Larson is ook bekend als degene die met het meeste succes zijn...more
