Of every ten comics, nine are pretty straightforward jokes and the tenth is a beautiful, perfect piece of absurdism. (

This is an amazing mood-lifter.
Spent two days opening them at random and enjoying things in there.
Do yourself a favour and get your hands on this one.
It's a gem. (

Jeez, that was fun. But of all of them? I still think this one is the funniest.

Done! It took a long time to read The Complete Far Side. It was worth it. For the last couple of years I've worried that I'm losing my sense of humor. Nope. Humor has changed, not me.
