desertcart.com: The Chickens are Restless: 9780836217179: Larson, Gary: Books Review: Essential Comic Series for 80s & 90s kids - Gary Larson gets all the stars. Classic single-panel comic strip that is hilariously absurd, and disturbingly witty; awkward, oddball humor that is at times both confusing and profound. I grew in the 1990s borrowing these books again and again from my city library. Many Millenials and younger Gen Xers will probably remember them from teachers' classroom book collections and waiting room coffee tables, if nowhere else. I've spent the last couple years hunting down all the original books and their "gallery" collections, and now have a complete collection that I display proudly alongside my complete collection of Calvin & Hobbes (another childhood staple). Some may find The Far Side stupid or unfunny, but 1) The subtle humor is just going over their heads, and 2) You had to be there back in the 1990s to fully understand. Review: Gary Larson strikes again! - Always funny in a sideways kind of humor, Gary Larson entertains those of like humor. Love it!

Essential Comic Series for 80s & 90s kids

Gift for the Grandkids
Bought this for the 4 Grandkids and they laughed so hard that I just had to buy another copy for myself. And I love making my Grandchildren happy. Many of these are absolutely hysterical so if you want a good laugh, I recommend getting this volume, for yourself, and anyone else. Just the cover alone with the title makes me chuckle a little more, each time, before opening the book again. I have also ordered a few more volumes of other titles and will probably end up collecting all of them. I don't think that you can go wrong with these books. The prices are great and the laughter you will get from these is something we all need these days. Good luck and enjoy. Richard

Funny comics
One of my husbands favorite comics growing up. Got this for a Christmas Eve gift so we can read through the night. I know he will love it. Still funny.

REALLY NICE CLEAN BOOK.
Nice well kept book. Shipped fast. REALLY FUNNY, I think IF everyone would be required to read Larson ever day the STRESS levels would drop dramatically. ;-)

Das Buch war beschrieben als gebraucht und in sehr gutem Zustand. Es war in einem so guten Zustand, daß ich nochmal nachsah, ob es nicht doch noch irgendwo ein Preisschild hat. Der Papiertiger versendet aus den USA. Die Lieferzeit war absolut in Ordnung, das Buch sorgfältig verpackt und das Porto niedriger als ein deutsches Inlandsporto. Jawoll, liebe Post!!! Zu dem Buch selbst kann ich nur sagen, daß ich seit einem Viertel Jahrhundert eiserner Gary-Larson-Fan bin und niemals enttäuscht wurde. Auch dieses Buch mit seinen Zeichnungen und Witzen, zum Teil uns ein schmerzliches, aber augenzwinkerndes Spiegelbild vorhaltend, sorgt wieder für Erheiterung und so manche Überraschung. Sehr empfehlenswert!
