It Came From The Far Side

The sixth collection of The Far Side

"The sixties offered the easy aphoristic wisdom of Charles Schultz, the self-satisfied seventies the prickly satire of Garry Trudeau. The Reagan eighties have spawned the demonic, subtle and slightly despairing humor of a former music-store clerk."-Rolling Stones

"Many of Larson's frowsy, no-nonsense women--astringent in their dowdy dresses, their upswept hairdos clamped glumly in place like helmets; eyeless behind opaque, oval glasses that waggishly exaggerate their long and drawn visages--are  ringers for the relatives and neighbors of my childhood.

"His work--like superior humor and music the world over--is capable of blowing the lid off of some hidden, wedded-over, back-alley regions of ourselves."-Al Young, Things Ain't What They Used to Be
