Trivia

In the cats vs. dogs segment that is meant to look like an old Civil War documentary, there's a group photo of cats with a banner that reads 5th Michigan Siamese Division "We Fight If We Please, Or If We Don't Please". The slogan is a direct reference to the 2 Siamese cats from Lady And The Tramp and their song (We Are Siamese If You Please, We Are Siamese If You Don't Please)

User Reviews

Perfec'

This is just great!!! It's so typical Gary Larson, the drawings and the humor. Add some animation, and Puff - you've got you're self some quality cartoon out of the ordinary! Much better than Disney junk (lately) or the stuff on Cartoon-Network (bad)! Hard to say what I like the most about these to wonderful cartoon-treasures, but perhaps the one where Death goes on vacation or when the deer with the red tie around his head gives a new meaning to the Deer Hunter. Gary Larson's Tales from the Far Side come in two parts (they come from your TV or in the mail) and they serve quality humor. You will laugh. You will smile. It's highly recommendable..
