I loved the one with the two sabertooth tigers sitting in a tree; a loincloth and a club are laying on the ground, and one tiger is saying to the other, "I've heard these things make some strange noises before, but 'Yabba, dabba, doo!' is a new one on me!"

Yep, great deal. And if you don't already have an Amazon Visa you can sign up and save another $30 and get it for $24 shipped.

Should pop up with the option to sign up for it after you add something to your cart, then when you choose to pay with it, it will put the $30 credit in your cart for your first purchase.

If not, just dig around on the site for a sign up link.

Got mine today. Wow is it big and heavy. Even reading that it was so, I wasn't expecting it to be this extreme though! Definitely an awesome set, extremely well made, can't wait to dig into it.

Does anybody else keep their's lying flat? I figured the pages would break the spine sitting upright so I have it on it's side with a few other books on top of it.

I'll definitely store mine on its side for just that reason.

I think it was pretty much designed that way, as it's the perfect "coffee table" book.

Woo hoo! Finally got here. My wife yelled at me 'cause the UPS guy left it on the doorstep and she nearly threw her back out picking up.

My personal favorite has always been "Punk Accountants".

My best friend and I exchanged gifts today. I knew he was going to get me this and he didn't disappoint.

My god, I have no idea how long it will take me go get through all 4,437 cartoons. It's simply an amazing collection.

So many favs... but I've always loved the "Boneless Chicken Ranch".

Is the Complete Far Side Really Complete?On a review on Amazon.com someone wrote that this collection does not include weiner dog art and prehistory can anyone confirm this? I know Amazon.com reviews are not are great source of info. So I wanted to ask the knowledgeable dvdtalkers.

Yes, Prehistory and Weiner Dog art are not included.

But that's all that's missing. It has every comic that was syndicated and a bunch (1,100 or so I think) that were previously unreleased.
