More than a standard collection, this anniversary volume looks back at the ideas, experiments and unexpected reactions that helped shape Larson’s offbeat world of talking animals, baffled scientists, suburban oddballs and everyday situations turned brilliantly absurd. Alongside a generous selection of cartoons, Larson offers candid commentary on his creative process, early work, recurring themes and the strips that delighted, confused or occasionally upset readers. Behind-the-scenes material and memorable correspondence add context to the humour, revealing how seemingly simple drawings produced such strong responses. Witty, revealing and packed with visual comedy, this retrospective is an essential companion for longtime fans and an inviting introduction to the peculiar logic that made The Far Side a cultural phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48381884170452,"sku":"TVJ-027581","price":11.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-027581-1.jpeg?v=1785289845","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/the-prehistory-of-the-far-side-a-10th-anniversary-exhibit-by-gary-larson","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
