Cows of Our Planer by Gary Larson


Cows of Our Planet by Gary Larson is the thirteenth collection of The Far Side comic strips and the majority of the cartoons have to do with animals; it is not a concentrated look at  cows as the cover and title might lead you to believe. However, there are cow cartoons scattered throughout, and the centre of the book is devoted to a fold out colour section of  Cows of Our Planet, which consists of six panels depicting  very strange cows that inhabit Earth. The comics rely on a combination of a visual and verbal jokes. The Far Side was immensely popular in the 1980's with its popularity continuing well into the nineties until Larson retired on  the 1st of January 1995. His works are still popular and his twenty-three book of collected cartoons are still sort after today. 


This one below is pretty funny:

Garfield is an animal at heart and in the wilds of suburbia he reverts to his primal self, stalking his prey with buttered bread in hand. Mustering all the skills at his disposal; cunning, resourcefulness and an active imagination, he transform into the night stalker, lurking in the shadows, invisible to his adversaries he seeks out his target and strikes!  Quite a few of my students are devouring these books about Garfield as they are added to the shelf. I have just finished reading this one and it is quite funny. The first few pages have a few little texta embellishment buy generally it's in okay condition. Enjoy!

Life is Just a Bunch of Ziggys by Tom Wilson

Sometimes, after a bad day, this is the sort of little book you need to pick up. How could you not like little Ziggy. Ziggy is a cartoon created by Tom Wilson. Ziggy is a small, bald, bare-footed little man who seems to have no friends and no real hobbies. He does, however, have Fuzz, a small white dog, Sid, a cat who is afraid of mice, Josh, a fish...and Wack, a duck. An endless stream of misfortunes befall Ziggy and he often finds himself in some rather weird situations. If you enjoyed Snake, then this little book will most likely appeal to you.
