The COMPLETE Far Side

I don't think there has been a thread about this beautiful beautiful piece of work yet.
The Complete Far Side
18 pounds.
1,250 pages.
Every Far Side ever (many of which have never been printed in book form before)
*drool*

And then there is the Complete Peanuts being released over the next 12 years. If they do Calvin and Hobbes as something like this, I can die a happy man.

This makes me soooo happy.

my girlfriend got it for me for christmas. it was completely unexpected (i guess she picked up that i was a fan somehow, though i never mentioned it), and very awesome. it's huge, and it's really just amazing to touch and look at. it's incredibly well put together.

Wow, that's cool. I like Far Side, except sometimes I don't get it.

Got it for Christmas. Lovin' it.

That episode of the Simpsons said it all: one out of every five is brilliant.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I would LOVE to get my hands on that book... it may have to be my next book purchase...

now I know what to do with the umpteen Borders and Barnes$Ignoble gift cards I got for Christmas. 5th Gunslinger book. Complete Far Side. and one cup of cappucino. actually I'll have to nix the coffee or I won't be able to afford the books.

I know this thread is ancient but somebody just bought this for me from my wishlist! So rapt! It is so fucking heavy though I can hardly lift it!

God, I love the Far Side. It's probably the only strip that never failed to capture my interest. No other one-panel has ever compared to it. The only thing, I think, that really competes with Far Side without trying to be Far Side is Toothpaste for Dinner.

I picked that up quite a while ago for a ridiculously low price (I think it was something like fifteen dollars), and it makes me happy just to have it sitting on the shelf. *chuckle* Now I just need the complete Calvin and Hobbes.

There is the complete Calvin and Hobbes now - I have it. Beautiful hardcover too.

That's better than my average.
