Gary Larson

B-

Far Side doesn't seem so bizarre and twisted after reading John Callahan, but it's still pretty weird.  This collection doesn't have any of what I think of as the classic strips (like the neon warning of "DIDN'T WASH HANDS"), but it meets the minimum RDA of farm animals, dinosaurs, dogs, cats, humans, and mythological creatures, many in glasses.  There are more puns than I usually associate with Larson, none of which I'll spoil here.
