I had long wanted this collection but couldn't justify the price for something so seemingly silly. Found Overstock's lower price and had a discount code so I jumped on it. The slipcase was trashed! It was gouged and ripped and will soon be unservi

Imagine my surprise upon opening a sealed copy of this set to discover significant grease stains on the pages of the first volume. For what this set represents and what it costs, this is unacceptable.

I don't even have it yet, but Amazon says I will by next Wednesday or so. I've read Larson for as long as I've been able, and at around $50 less than retail how can you not buy it? Love those cows!! Please come back Gary!

As a whippersnapper I read New Yorker cartoons. They inspired me to become an illustrator. My lack of success was a source of humor to others, and I inadvertantly became a humorist. It is helpful to read this book and see how those at the top of...

This is by far the best Calvin and Hobbes yet. The colors are great, and the expressions from all characters are greatly done in every aspect, and the strips are laugh out loud funny. If you are into comics at all, buy this book! Truly a...

Yeah, Calvin and Hobbes was great. But you'll come no closer to understanding Bill Watterson's thought process after reading this book than you will before. It's not a total loss: the sources of some characters are interesting, and Watterson's...

Bill Watterson decided to do a retrospective of his comic book series Calvin and Hobbes, although ten years isn't really a long life for a comic strip. In this book he talks about the kind of things you'd probably expect to read in a book like...

"The Far Side Gallery 2" gathers together a generous helping of cartoons by the brilliant Gary Larson, with an introduction by horror icon Stephen King. Larson's work is a surreal blend of horror, science fiction, and satire, all filtered through...

It was an ok purchase. I am a die hard fan of far side as it appeals to my sense of humour. However, it had about as much duration as the average archie comic and left no lasting impression. No desire to re-read. Overall a fair book.

I love this one because it concentrates more on Hobbes, Calvin's imaginary sidekick. 5 stars.

The best cartoons give us a new look at ourselves and our world. Outstanding cartoons may even cause us to laugh at ourselves and our follies.

Likewise, great cartoon collections need a lot of great and outstanding cartoons across...
