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.

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 pithy thoughts in a foreword and Gary Larson’s former editor describes what it was like to be “the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon.
