New York:: Harper Collins,, (1998). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (remainder mark, light creasing to dj) . First printing. The first non-"Far Side" book by this cartoonist - "an ecological fable that combines environmental lessons with off-the-wall humor. Father worm tells the story of Harriet, a beautiful but stupid maiden who frolics through the forest enjoying the beauty of nature, but completely failing to understand it. The young earthworm learns that nature is not a cute and cuddly theme park designed for the entertainment of stupid humans, but a complex, fragile, and sometimes violent system where every creature plays a vital role, even the lowly worm. It may look like a children's book (and they will love it too), but there's enough here to keep the most sophisticated adult chuckling for hours." Large format, unpaginated.

There’s a Hair in My Dirt is a non-Farside book by popular American cartoonist, Gary Larson. It begins with a worm family having dinner when the young worm son complains of a hair in his dirt. This leads to his father telling the story of Harriet, a young woman who lived in a cottage by the woods. At once a humorous and cautionary tale, it is, of course, graced throughout with Larson’s quirky illustrations. It may look like a children’s storybook, but it proves to be much more. Every square centimetre of the pages is worth close attention. An extra Larson fix for Far Side addicts.
