One of those "must-buy" books for fans of clever cartooning is The Complete Far Side by Gary Larson…a two-volume, 1,272 page extravaganza that contains over 4,300 single-panel comics. About a fourth of them did not appear in those paperback Far Side collections that we all enjoyed way back when.
The set came out a little less than a year ago with a $135 sticker price which was quickly discounted to around a hundred dollars. It's now down to $91.80 at Amazon (click here to buy it there) but that may not be the best price you can get. It's now eighty dollars at Costco. At least, that's the mail order price to which you'll also need to add a $9.85 shipping and handling fee, bringing it close to the Amazon price. (Both stores will also hit you up for sales tax.) But if you're visiting a Costco and they have it there for eighty bucks, you may want to grab one. If you can lift it.
Actually, it's the perfect Costco purchase. Eighteen pounds of Gary Larson cartoons will go just fine with your 40 lb. vat of Smucker's Apricot Preserves and your hot-tub-sized drum of Kirkland-brand Hydrogen Peroxide. I'm always afraid when I go into that store and see them giving flu shots. I figure that's got to be, like, a 30-gallon flu shot.
