Reviews: Beyond The Far Side (1)
“Genius”
(Paperback)
The second Warner Books Far Side collection (originally published in the UK in 1984 - I read the 1993 WB edition), this is chock full of Larson goodness and, re-reading it after far too long, reminds me of why I fell in love with the strip in the first place (in fact, it features the “Betty, pull out, you’ve hit an artery” picture that got me into the Far Side in the first place). Highlights include the chin-up bar, duck relays, “I gotta be me!”, “Who’s the brains?”, goldish on the piano, Lulu’s tractor adventure, the “whoa!” spiders web, “Howdy, I’m a cowboy” and the melancholic anger of the one-legged elephant saying “a waste basket?”. Superb, extremely funny and a great read, this is highly recommended.
