Yeah, I don't normally include cartoons here, but I'll make a new rule that any reading material that weighs over 10kg is automatically accepted...

Reading through all 4000+ of Larson's cartoons in a couple of days is an enlightening experience. It's not, however, the nirvana that I was hoping for. It seems Far Side works better when consumed at a rate of couple of strips per day, not 500+. Still, this is a magnificent collection that includes all your favorite strips (mine is the monster snorkel), so highly recommended.

PS: Steve Martin's foreword is terrible, which is surprising given that Martin is usually funny.
