The Complete Far Side - Book Two by Gary LarsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Complete Far Side - Book Two collects Far Side comics from July 1984 to June 1988.

The humor skews a little darker than the first volume so it was right up my alley. The angry letters to Far Side printed in this collection show that a lot of people didn't have much of a sense of humor even in the pre-Internet days. I don't really know what else to say. It's a collection of funny newspaper strips.
The Complete Far Side - Book Two: Witness one of the greatest newspaper strips of all time in its prime. Five out of five stars.
