The PreHistory of the Far Side
garythefowler avatar reviewed on + 65 more book reviews


Great Larsen stuff, of course, but a bonus with this one: not only his crazy and wise cartoons, but a bit of his own story, too. He tells, in his wacky way, part of how he started, how he learned to edit himself, what was not accepted by editors, and more. To which I add some "Larseniana" that I know to be true: One of my longtime good friends went to high school with Larsen, and Larsen attended my friend's wedding. Larsen's wedding gift to the happy couple was a tarantula. So who's surprised?
