„Andrews McMeel described The Far Side as “an unparalleled comic masterpiece”, which it said had “revolutionised conventional considerations of humour in general, and of comics in particular”. According to the publisher, more than 40m books and 77m Far Side calendars have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 17 languages. Terms dreamed up by Larson – as in his cartoon of a caveman pointing to the tail of a stegosaurus and telling his audience that it is named “the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmonds”, led paleontologists to adopt the invented word, while Larson himself has a species of chewing louse named after him: Strigiphilus garylarsoni.“

The Far Side kommt hier in die Blogroll. Ich lach mich noch jeden Tag kaputt.
