Which is all we'll say for now. What exactly does the maiden encounter? Does Son Worm learn a lesson? More important, does he eat his plate of fresh dirt? Written and illustrated in a children's storybook style, There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story is a twisted take on the difference between our idealized view of Nature and the sometimes cold, hard reality of life for the birds and the bees and the worms not to mention our own species. Told with his trademark off-kilter humor, this first original non-- Far Side book is the unique work of a comic master. There's a Hair in My Dirt! Well, you'll have to read to find out, but let's just say the answers are right under your feet. Now Larson can finally sleep at night. Question is, will you?

Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers round out this eclectic and definitive collection of what many people consider the most side-splitting cartoon of all time. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin writes the delightful and pithy foreword, and Larson's former editor describes what it was like to be "the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon. Sunday comics were double-sized, done in watercolor or colored pencils, with captions handwritten in Larson's own hand. Most of Larson's comics relied on some combination of a visual and verbal gag, rather than just one or the other. Some recurring themes in the comic include people being stranded on desert islands, aliens, heaven, hell, and the life of cavemen. Many cartoons focused on animals, especially cows, bears, dogs, flies, and ducks. Notably, virtually all characters portrayed in the comic were overweight or obese, and usually wearing glasses. In addition, unless needed for a facial or comic expression, eyes are almost never drawn and characters usually show only a brow ridge. Larson was recognized for his work on the strip with the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for and , [2] and with their Reuben Award for and The letters were written to newspaper publishers and often demanded the removal of The Far Side. Despite these protests, The Far Side remained popular and continued to run in many newspapers.

The cartoons were first collected in small books see list below , and some were then republished in larger best-of collections such as The Far Side Galleries. The five The Far Side Gallery books are the most popular, each of them collecting together the best cartoons from three smaller books, along with a humorous foreword by celebrity fans, including Stephen Jay Gould, Stephen King , Robin Williams , and Jane Goodall.

In this book, Gary Larson discussed the development of The Far Side , the public's reaction to it, and presented a selection of his personal favorites from the cartoon's history, as well as previously unpublished sketches and strips rejected by his editor. In , The Complete Far Side was released, containing nearly every The Far Side comic ever published except for a few cartoons written for Christmas cards.

This kind of humor was around already in other media. There were other shows and stand-up comics, and it obviously was in magazines and books. It was just not appearing in newspapers. Q: You often drew cartoons about animals and birds and primates and that sort of thing. To me it was just humor. Some people call it sick, but it was an equal opportunity sickness. A: Yeah, I am. It is difficult for me to talk about my drawing or my technique because I never drew that well. And I was always struggling. I used to work harder at some cartoons than probably people would ever expect that I did. Without being that great an artist, in my gut I knew where I wanted to go with something. And I would try to get it there. A: Those were the battles. For me, perspective was always important. Q: Do you adjust your cartoon ideas accordingly? A: Usually I was foolish enough to try it anyway. You know, there were some things that were just physically impossible, technically impossible, but you would try. I did plenty of mob scenes running through the streets, things like that. And those are things that are challenging for someone like me to do. But you just do it; you do the best you can. Q: Do you feel a responsibility to your readers to try to do the best you can or present something in as funny a light as possible? Or did you draw for yourself and hope there were other people out there who shared your sensibility? Whoever was following my work I was going to try to treat well. Larson felt otherwise. To me, what was exciting was trying to do something that would crack someone up. In fact, I think it would work against it in some cases. A certain face on a character would work in one instance but not in another. Although admittedly, as the years went by, all my stuff got boiled down to about six faces. You need a fairly warped imagination to come up with things like teenage dragons lighting their sneezes. Another influence was the picture book Mr. True to its title, the story is about a large bear who goes around sitting on other animals' houses. Halfway through the interview, he was visibly delighted when Lynn Sherr surprised him with a copy of the then-out-of-print book. With "The Far Side," Larson turned bovine jokes into a real cash cow. From gags about vacationing cattle to the exploits of a bloodthirsty vampcow, the strip was loaded with heifer hilarity. Cows blur the line between tragedy and humor. Every so often, though, this affinity for the hoofed mammals got him into trouble. In , Larson drew a cartoon that was supposed to satirize the outdated anthropological belief that, of all creatures, only Homo sapiens makes tools. In fact, hardly anyone did. Chronicle Features was bombarded with letters and phone calls from confused readers begging for an explanation. Within 24 hours of the strip's publication, Larson was asked to write a press release explaining its significance to the masses. That October, his official statement appeared in newspapers throughout the U. Stegosaurus is world-famous for its lime-sized brain and the quartet of nasty-looking spikes on its tail. A "Far Side" strip decided to have a little fun with the latter attribute. In that cartoon, we find an early human anachronistically lecturing his fellow cavemen about dinosaur-related hazards. Previously, nobody had ever given a name to the unique arrangement of tail spikes found on Stegosaurus and its relatives. In , entomologist Dale Clayton discovered a brand new species of biting louse that exclusively targets owls. When the time came to name it, his first choice was Strigiphilus garylarsoni. Clayton wrote the cartoonist to ask for his blessing. The one-liner started a controversy that erupted and then vanished in record time. Its author minced no words. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way. But in a stunning turn of events, it turns out that Goodall herself loved the comic.

The collection is also missing parody art pieces from Wiener Dog Art , some material from The Prehistory of The Far Side , and a panel run for a caption writing contest in the Telegram-Tribune newspaper. The set was released in two volumes — and — , with a foreword by Steve Martin and an introduction by Larson's long-time editor Jake Morrisey. The first edition hardcover boxed set weighs Some of the comics were altered for this book, either featuring a different caption, correcting errors, or simply becoming colorized. In , Gary Larson drew a cover for the November 17 edition of The New Yorker magazine, [5] a prestigious offer he said he could not refuse. In , Larson produced an animated special, Tales from the Far Side , featuring his art style and gags from the strips. He produced a sequel in It is difficult to find many The Far Side cartoons online, since Larson, his publishers, and his lawyers have successfully persuaded people not to infringe on his copyright. Larson wrote a widely distributed letter in which he explains the "emotional cost" to him of people displaying his cartoons on their websites and asks them to stop doing so. In , a special exhibit of five hundred and twenty seven black and white Far Side panels was shown in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington. One hundred and twenty seven of the panels were originals; displayed in the rotunda on boards that held fifty panels each. In his early years, Larson spent countless hours chasing amphibians and nurturing pet snakes. So when he enrolled at Washington State University, his decision to major in biology surprised no one. After graduating, he landed a job at a record store. Dissatisfied with the gig, Larson began to draw bizarre, single-panel cartoons in his spare time. Riding high on newfound success, Larson decided to see if any other publications might be interested in his work. Chronicle Features syndicated "The Far Side" and asked Larson to embrace at least one aspect of the standard comic strip formula before it was distributed nationally. At the time, he explains, it was widely believed that every strip needed a cast in order to be successful. Larson felt otherwise. To me, what was exciting was trying to do something that would crack someone up. In fact, I think it would work against it in some cases.

By then, the comic strip which inspired both movies had been laid to rest, as Larson retired in By the mids, numerous hallways in the San Francisco-based California Academy of Sciences had basically been wallpapered with "Far Side" cartoons. Dubbed " The Far Side of Science ," it featured some individual cartoons. The display first opened at the CAS in December, then traveled through such cities as Los Angeles, Denver, and Orlando—often breaking attendance records along the way. A lifelong jazz fan , Larson would frequently listen to the work of genre maestros when he needed to generate ideas for "Far Side" comics. He ranks legendary guitarist Herb Ellis among his favorite musicians. Nowadays, with "The Far Side" mostly in his rear view mirror, Larson dedicates a portion of each day to honing his skills as a jazz guitarist. Yet it has structure, there are certain rules to follow, and you try to create something with those rules. In honor of his birthday—Van Dyke was born on December 13, —here are 19 quotes from the perennially cheerful actor who's still singing and dancing far better than the rest of us ever could. I'm one of those people who gets up on the right side of the bed in the morning. I get up and have a cup of coffee and go to the gym before I talk myself out of it because I will as anybody will. He wrote—he didn't care how silly people got, as long as it was believable, as long as there was a reason. And they acted like human beings. And he could write.
