First - I didn't know "The Far Side" was published as early as 1984 (and probably earlier). Which is interesting - because there are style shifts from one comic to the next, showing how Gary Larson's drawing style evolved.
These are funny. Even 25 years after publishing date - they hold up to the times. Larson has a talent for creating dark humor with a simple drawing - its an amazing talent which few cartoonist have.
Not all of these comics are funny. A few of them, I didn't understand what the story was, or that it was difficult to understand the punch line due to bad drawings.
But for the most part, these are funny. They are dark, and I found myself chuckling at them. ( )
