The thing about The Far Side is that you either really get it – or you really don't. You either love The Far Side, or you loathe it. Gary Larson, in my mind, is one of our generation's best cartoonist. His humor, I could only hope to one day match – living in The Far Side world is something I think we've all longed for at one point in our lives. It's true that I'm selling a few of my older Far Side Gallery books, but that's only because Ponzi got me The Complete Far Side for Christmas. With 4,300 single-panel comics… I'm finding some that I've never seen before. Perhaps I can get my dad to give The Far Side another shot; he puzzled for hours over how a standoff between two worm cowboys would always end in a draw. The Far Side is finally a little nearer to me.
