    Description

    Which is all we'll say for now.
    What exactly does the maiden encounter?
    Does Son Worm learn a lesson?
    More important, does he eat his plate of fresh dirt?

    Well, you'll have to read to find out, but let's just say the answers are right under your feet.

    Written and illustrated in a children's storybook style, There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story is a twisted take on the difference between our idealized view of Nature and the sometimes cold, hard reality of life for the birds and the bees and the worms (not to mention our own species).

    Told with his trademark off-kilter humor, this first original non-Far Side book is the unique work of a comic master.

    Now Larson can finally sleep at night.

    Question is, will you?

    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 short films. He played his guitar. He threw sticks for his dogs.

    Gary Larson

    Gary Larson was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. His parents were Vern, a car salesman, and Doris, a secretary. He attended Curtis High School before attending Washington State University and graduated in 1972 with a degree in communications. In 1987, Larson married Toni Carmichael, an archaeologist.

    Larson credits his older brother Dan for his paranoid sense of humor. Dan would pull countless pranks on Gary, taking advantage of his phobia of monsters under the bed by, for example, waiting in the closet for the right moment to pounce out at Gary. Dan is also credited with giving Gary his love of science. They caught animals in Puget Sound and placed them in terrariums in the basement; even making a small desert ecosystem, which their parents apparently did not mind. His adept use of snakes in his cartoons stems from his long-standing interest in herpetology.
    Since retiring from the Far Side, Larson has occasionally done some cartooning work, such as magazine illustrations and promotional artwork for Far Side merchandise.

    In 1998, Larson published his first post-Far Side book, Theres a Hair in My Dirt!: A Worms Story, an illustrated story with the unmistakable Far Side mindset.
