Volume Three : July 1988 to December 1994 Description: A masterpiece of comic brilliance, The Complete Far Side contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated--over 4,000 if you must know--presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that had never before appeared in a book. Also included are additional Far Side cartoons Larson created after his retirement: 13 that appeared in the last Far Side book, Last Chapter and Worse, and six cartoons that periodically ran as a special feature in the New York Times Science Times section as The Far Side® of Science. Creator Gary Larson offers a rare glimpse into the mind of The Far Side® in quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin offers his sagacious thoughts in a foreword, and Larson’s former editor describes what it was like to be “the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon.” Feature Specification Series / Brand The Far Side Official Franchise (The Globally Renowned Single-Panel Comic Masterpiece) Author / Illustrator Gary Larson (The Legendary Master of Anthropological and Scientific Satire) Publisher / Imprint Andrews McMeel Publishing (Official UK Distribution Curation) SKU / Product Code B2D-FARSIDE-3BKS Format 3-Book Premium Paperback Graphic Collection inside Sturdy Presentation Slipcase Box Total Book Count 3 Massive, Chronologically Archived Comic Anthology Volumes Age Range Ages 9 to 14 Years Old (Upper Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, and Crossover Adult Demographics) Subject Domains Covered Evolutionary biology parody, physical sciences irony, anthropological satire, sophisticated vocabulary wordplay Internal Page Elements Thousands of individual single-panel comic frames, high-fidelity black and white and colour print matrices Skills Developed Advanced context clue parsing, critical analytical wit, lateral logical reasoning, long-form visual reading stamina Gary Larson represents an exceptionally distinguished, multi-award-winning vanguard voice in global visual satire, receiving the prestigious Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year and the Max & Moritz Prize for a life's work, commanding undisputed institutional and cultural authority.
