The PreHistory of the Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit

In 1989, Andrews McMeel published this single-issue volume marking a decade of Gary Larson's iconic The Far Side—a behind-the-panels look at the making of the strip, featuring Larson's commentary and original sketches. The book also includes a foreword by Hank Ketcham, creator of Dennis the Menace, linking two giants of single-panel humor. It remains a definitive artifact of Larson’s creative process, celebrated for its candid glimpse into the mind behind the bizarre, beloved universe.
