The Far Side® is back in this much-anticipated three-volume slipcased paperback edition of The Complete Far Side! “Every one of these cartoons is just something that drifted into my head when I was alone with my thoughts. And, for better or worse, I ‘jotted’ them down. It was only later, when perhaps I received an angry letter from someone, that it struck me: Hey! Someone’s been reading my diary!” --Gary Larson, from the preface to The Complete Far Side Originally published in hardcover in 2003, The Complete Far Side was a New York Times bestseller. Now it’s back as a paperback set with a newly designed slipcase that will delight Far Side fans. Revered by its fans as the funniest, most original, most “What the ... ?”-inspiring cartoon ever, The Far Side® debuted in January 1980 and enjoyed an illustrious 14 years on the world’s comics pages until Gary Larson’s retirement in 1994. The Complete Far Side celebrates Larson’s twisted, irreverent genius in this ultimate Far Side book. 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.” During its 14-year run, The Far Side® was syndicated internationally to over 1,900 daily newspapers. It spawned 23 books and has been translated into 17 different languages. Copyright © 2014, 2003 FarWorks, Inc. All rights reserved.

As World War 2 was drawing to a close, Australia's secret commando unit, 'Z Special Force', had bungled a number of operations trying to rescue 2,500 Australian and English prisoners of war held by the Japanese in North Borneo. At war's end, only 6 of those prisoners would survive. When the Commanders of 'Z Special Force' realized that they were too late to save any of the prisoners, in a last desperate act of bitter frustration, they dispatched agents behind enemy lines by US submarines to assassinate the Japanese commanders in Borneo. Kept secret from the Australian public for over 50 years, the story of how the rescue missions failed, and how the lives of commandos were risked in a desperate attempt at revenge, 'Death of a General' reveals the truth behind the events leading up to the final desperate operation.'Death of a General' is based solidly on fact, but because of the oath of secrecy taken by members of this unit, details of the battles and missions, and names of those involved have been fictionalized.The story follows one man, from his experiences in the battles on the Kokoda Trail, through his induction into 'Z Special Force', and his numerous missions behind enemy lines.

He reminds us of the magical realism ofGabriel Garc a M rquezand Jorge Luis Borges: "A piano, / With its keys locked under its cover, / Is some giant creature / At the bottom of the sea, /Waiting." Like a painter saturating the colors of Earth, exalting its geography from delirious beauty to war nightmares, Larson takes the reader on a dreamlike journey, filled with flashbacks, family memories, and ghosts. The Philosopher Savantis a moving and powerful tribute to the past, bittersweet, funny, and heartbreaking. Themes of absence, loss and abandonment are set against a backdrop of fire and ice, in a landscape whose gardens, blooming with geraniums, lilies, marigolds, lilac, roses, orchids, honeysuckle and thistle, in "gangrened earth," are reminiscent of Richard Matheson's novel and Vincent Ward's movieWhat Dreams May Come.Melancholic, unflinching and unexpected, The Philosopher Savant, haunted by the likes of Proust, Crane, Whitman, Shihab Nye, Keats and Shakespeare, upon whose shoulders Larson rests, pulsates like jazz and celebrates life. -- H l ne Cardona in Verseville He makes everything greater because he's a smart singer, every poem is a win. Moments shine with an unselfconscious voice. We cannot imagine how easily paint can be applied if we just speak in real time of consequential things with a depth of heart. Within that modest framework the passage of words has a capability and a sphere of influence without limits. The poetry dynamics here are a genuine voice, believable encounters, and the ability to make everything new with the belief that no one's watching you, and nothing can come of it, and there's nothing to get. This is poetry at its best. --Grace Cavalieri in The Washington Independent Review of Books
