The perennially best-selling calendar is back for another run, offering up a daily dose of timeless humor from the magnificent mind of Gary Larson. The Far Side® 2024 Off-The-Wall Calendar is a revised version of the 1996 edition, and the cartoons are as brilliant, bold, and bizarre as ever.

Almost three decades ago, the best-selling The Far Side®1996 Off-The-Wall Calendar delighted fans with deliciously dark and dreamlike takes on, well, you name it. (But odds were always good a cow might be involved.) And it’s back! For 2024, we proudly present a slightly updated version of this inimitable calendar, featuring a year’s worth of classic black and white cartoons that are as surreal and imaginative today as they were back then. Within these pages you’ll find all your favorite The Far Side® regulars—apes and aliens, snakes and scientists, cowboys and cavemen—in a host of uncanny scenarios that could only have come from the ingenious imagination of Gary Larson. It’s a blast from the past that’s still fresh, fearless, and funny as hell.

Title: Larson never grows old
Review: I give these to friends and family every year for Christmas. They are classic and still make us laugh out loud at least twice a week. Our fridge holds our favorites. And we use the old pages for scrap paper. If you love Larson, give yourself this daily gift.

Title: Always great, but made cheaper this year
Review: You know what it is. It's a Far Side calendar. It does seem like they skimped out on the production this year: the pages are so thin I can see through them to the next day, and they combined weekends into a single page. Gotta save themselves those pennies somehow, I guess.
