Description
Since childhood Gary Larson has been fascinated by animals, especially snakes and other reptiles, which probably explains their frequent appearance in "The Far Side" Larson is a quiet, friendly man whose sense of humor just happens to border on bizarre. After graduating from Washington State University with a degree in communications, he played banjo and guitar in a Seattle-area band before discovering cartooning. Like his expertise in herpetology. his highly skilled drawing technique has been largely self-taught. Larson's first collection, The Far Side, has enjoyed phenomenal success as a first-time effort it made the Washington Post best-seller list and has nearly 40.000 copies in print. The cartoon panel "The Far Side" now appears daily in nearly 100 newspapers throughout the country including the Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Los Angeles Times.
