The Far Side Galleries are literature's version of greatest hits CDs. This edition is even forwarded by Stephen King.The artistic masterpieces in this one come from the books Brides of The Far Side, Valley of the Far Side and It Came From the Far Side. It may be cheaper to buy these books individually instead of this gallery so compare prices before purchasing. The advantage of owning the galleries is that some cartoons are full page size which is three times the size of the original books. Not all cartoons are full size though just some.Classic cartoons contained in this one such as dogs looking at slides with one pointing to the screen, "Now in this slide we can see how the cornered cat has seems to grow suddenly bigger, Trickery! Trickery! Trickery!" Another has a guy waking up with a post it note on his left foot where his toe should be with the words "Went to market" on it. The classic human parody of nagging where a bear demands of her husband who has No. 8 shaved into his fur, a huge tag with no.8 on his ear and a needle sticking out of him "Late Again! This Better Be Good!"Is this book better than other galleries? Well that's a matter of opinion, different ones appeal to different people. Should you buy it? Yes!
"The Far Side Gallery 2" gathers together a generous helping of cartoons by the brilliant Gary Larson, with an introduction by horror icon Stephen King. Larson's work is a surreal blend of horror, science fiction, and satire, all filtered through Larson's twisted, often macabre, sense of humor.Larson aims his pen at many targets in this collection; vampires, nuclear holocaust, the Bible, the tooth fairy, obesity, game shows, suicide, Vikings, vegetarianism, creationism, and much, much more. He often pokes fun at famous people or characters from literature and popular culture: Albert Einstein, Humpty Dumpty, Frankenstein, Carl Sagan, the Brady Bunch, etc.One of Larson's trademarks is to feature non-human characters who talk and behave remarkably like humans. Many such characters appear in this book: worms, extraterrestrial creatures, sharks, slugs, elephants, dragons, flowers, roaches, and more.The book is full of weirdness, but throughout it maintains an oddly consistent "Larsonian" logic. So if you want to see a Venus Kidtrap awaiting a meal, a devil leading a nightmarish aerobic workout session in hell, or Spanish-speaking dolphins confounding a team of scientists, check out "The Far Side Gallery 2."
My family gets together and eventually someone grabs one of the Far Side books reading aloud several of the jokes/comments and the pictures are great. I have five of these books and think they are very entertaining.
I read this book about 6 times cover to cover and every single time I think it is hillarious. This is a book that you do not want to forget.
I'll write the review for this book as soon as I'm able to stop laughing.
If you're a Far Side fan such as myself then ya gotta collect these where ever you can find them, I got turned on to Far Side some time ago when I first got a Far Side desk calendar for work during the 80s. Once I got hooked, I never looked back. Now I can't get enough of them.
My daughter suffers from Bipolar Depression. She's been very down lately. However this is one time when she will laugh a lot. Cheers her up, when nothing else does. She loves The Far Side. The price on these books was phenomonal! Super cheap.
i can't tell you whether or not to buy this collection, you either like gary larson's work or you don't. and if you know his work, and everyone does, you already know if you want this. it's a winner. and has a brief intro by stephen king--it comes to no surprise that king is a fan of the far side. they seem to fit together.
