I saw it at Costco last week for $75.00. While I was tempted, I wasn't there to buy things for ME, so I walked away. Humbug.

Hansome leatherbound comics (not even comic strips since Farsides are single frame). Such a perfect world.

He drew a world populated by quirky, goofy people and animals, especially cows, and his drawings sometimes perplexed readers.

Good old Costco. That's a good price for all those 'toons.

I was eyeing the big military books myself,, History of the Marine Corps

Our youngest son, want this for his birthday, this March.

I may have to buy it early and make sure that there is nothing wrong with it. :)

LOL .. Cow Tools!

"I had a single-image brain; I drew single-image cartoons," Larson wrote in an introduction in the book.

Gary Larson is a genius cartoonist... I'm saddened in his attempt to threaten lawsuits on those who memorialize his work. I have never heard of Scott Adams threatening people with lawyers when he finds a Dilber fan site.

Larson doesn't mind fansites, what he doesn't like is copyright infringement. It's his stuff, if he doesn't want it copied it's his call.

The far side was funny. Outland and the comeback of Outland bites a big fat kosher weiner.
