Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Once upon a time, in a place far away, lived a man named Gary Larson who used to draw cartoons. It was a cartoon that appeared for many years in daily newspapers and was loved by millions. (And was confusing to millions more.) But one day he stopped. Gary went into hiding. He made a couple of short films. He played his guitar. He threw sticks for his dogs. They threw some back. Yet Gary was restless. He couldn't sleep nights. Something haunted him. (Besides Gramps.) Something that would return him to his roots in biology, drawing and dementia — a tale called "There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story." It begins a few inches underground, when a young worm, during a typical family dinner, discovers there's a hair in his plate of dirt. He becomes rather upset, not just about his tainted meal but about his entire miserable, wormy life. This, in turn, spurs his father to tell him a story — a story to inspire the children of invertebrates everywhere... Review:"The comic genius, the author of the blackly buoyant and sorely missed Far Side comic strip ... Mr. Larson is among us again, not as a syndicated cartoonist, but as a contemporary fabulist."(-- New York Times) Review:" There's a Hair in My Dirt! is hysterical . . . more entertaining than any science class I remember and the foreword by biologist Edward O. Wilson proves it's legit."(-- Washington Post) About the AuthorGary Larrson creator of the phenomenally successful cartoon, The Far Side®, grew up in Tacoma, Washington.As a kid he liked to draw but never formally studied art or considered being a cartoonist.His real love was biology, which ultimately became a frequent topic in his cartoon panel. Larson has the distinction of having the scientific community name a biting louse and a butterfly after him.He lives in Seattle, Washington--above ground.
