Love it. Years ago I had to go out and buy every book he put out because I'd inadvertantly copied three of his comics. Mine were different, but way too similar to his.

My favorite now is In The Bleachers. It's like Gary Larson doing sports-related comics.

Now that I think about it, I used to have a Far Side shirt too. The one with the little kid spider dangling a rubber guy over the railing trying to scare his little spider sister. I don't know what ever happened to that.

Great strip. I still have a couple of the books stashed away somewhere.

I had the "Far Side" t-shirt of the two bears being seen through a rifle scope, and one bear is grinning and pointing at the other one like "Shoot him! Shoot him!" when I was in college.

One of my favorites as well. I have a coffee cup with the Midvale School for the Gifted panel on it. I also loved Bloom County back in the day. Anyone remember Bill the Cat for Prezident?

No one like In The Bleachers? I'm telling you, it could be Larson under a pen name!

My favorite is the one where all the cows are standing on two legs. Suddenly one of them is yelling: CAR!!!! All the cows go down on all 4 when the car passes by, only to get back up on 2 when the car is gone!

Nor have I, but you're right, it looks awesome!

I was and am a huge fan of The Far Side. I used to have a Biology professor in college who would copy off a Far Side at the top of every test and quiz.

In The Bleachers is usually in the sports section of newspapers, separate from the comics. Weird, but that's where they put it. It's not all about sports, so it could go with the other comics. Yesterday's had a rhino in a movie theater!

I don't read newspapers much, so I get it sent to my e-mail daily.

When The Far Side ended, it was a goal of mine to replace that horrible Close To Home comic that took The Far Side's place. My God is that thing the most unfunny comic I've ever read! My goal failed because I still haven't found a good environment to draw in. Haha. But I would still like to do it.
