Here are the cartoons taken from my final six months of newspaper syndication, plus 13 new cartoons I drew since I retired (more about that on page 81). Mingled with these are a few other cartoons that were never published in a Far Side book. (I know there are three guys out there who are tracking this stuff.)
But Last Chapter and Worse, I should hasten to add, is not necessarily my last "gasp" in the cartooning world. The Call of the Vial (of ink) still speaks to me, and the thought of creating more mischief -- somewhere, sometime -- still rumbles in the reptilian complex of my brain. (For you non-biology types, we've all got that -- it ain't just me.)
My profound thanks to all of you who have shared my sense of humor while forgiving my foibles. If I managed to give you a few laughs or smiles or gag reflexes along the way, you've given me a wonderful and completely unforeseen career.
I hope to see you again one day.
