The Far Side "Rarely Seen" 2002 Desk Calendar Read Free Books and Download eBooks
We play favorites. We admit it. Everybody does it. Just try to tell us that despite your mom's protests to the contrary, you haven't suspected - just a little - that she may have given your sibling a bit more free rein than what you seemed to get. Not that there's anything wrong with you, of course, it's just that in the process the other one probably got to see a little more of the world, courtesy of dear old Mom. Why are we bringing up these painful, formerly repressed memories? Not to drive a wedge between you and your family members (although there is a certain entertainment value to that) or to send yu rocketing to the nearest therapist's couch (but what could it hurt?). It's to make a point, which is...um...something about favoritism. Anyway, we've gone out of way this year to avoid any hard feelings when selecting the cartoons for this Far Side Desk Calendar. They're probably some that you haven't seen for awhile, least of all in a Desk Calendar, because none of these has ever been in a Desk Calendar before. Ever. Think of them as the silent suffering siblings who sat fuming away while their brothers and sisters were picked ahead of them. Now it's their turn, and in true overachiever fashion, they're determined to be the best ever. Let the healing begin.

Just like how barbara phillips of NC hates seeing the same old things from Larson, I hate seeing the same old reviews from the same old people. Makes you wonder what is going on when someone writes two similar reviews for the same book, slightly different in languge, but promoting other authors. Does this person work for another publishing company or is she related to the other people? I don't know, but I do warn people to think twice about basing your decision to buy on customer reviews. You never know who is writing them. Maybe even this review will get posted.
I thought there were going to be reaally rare cartoons, never before seen, but most of them I have already seen them on other calendars. Yes, there are never before seen, and as always Gary Larson cracks me up, but if you are a Far Side Fanatic you will find some cartoons that have been published before. Anyway, it's a great agenda, and I recomend it for those who want to get a kick every week with Gary Larson's humor. I bought it for my dad and he loved it.
You may find that you have, in fact, seen some of these panels before (in spite of the blurb implying the contrary.) So what, I say; they -- like day-old pizza -- are better the second time around, particularly when nothing else in the cartoon fridge appeals. Beyond the yummy satiric art, the layout of the calendar pages is just right with a desk "footprint" so modest that the use/entertainment-per-square-inch has to be the industry leader!
I have always enjoyed the Far Side cartoons and every yearpurchased the wall calendar and Engagement book. Unfortunately,this year's engagement book is very disappointing. The cartoonsare not amusing. In fact, I found the book as a whole to be verydepressing. I will not use this calendar this year because it issuch a "downer" and plan to buy a different engagement book.
