Reader Journal #16

    Dear Jacob,

    I read the Hound of the Far Side by Gary Larson. This book is or my humor book and is mostly funny pictures with captions. I will try to find the pictures online and post them onto the blog post. There are many the far side books by Gary Larson. The first page that I want to talk about is the first page. It has an airplane and two pilots inside the cockpit. The one to the left says we are entering some turbulence and says stay in you seat while the other pilot smiles. Then they start turning the yolk ( controller) like they are in a game trying to get away from the cops in a car and start laughing. Then the pilot says oh, there is more turbulence and the other one once again smiles happily. I couldn't find a picture for this page and can't take a picture and put it on. That will be copy write.
    The next page I want to talk about is on page 43. The are some porcupines with a sandwich in the middle. The funny part is that there is a porcupine upside down on the sandwich and has a blank expression on its face. I don't know why this is funny to me. I can't find a picture for this either.
    The last page I want to talk about is page 88, the picture on the right. There is a road with a starting line and a truck in the distance. At the starting line there is a flat turtle and rabbit. On the side of the road there are animals looking at the turtle and rabbit with a blank look on their face. I guess the tortoise and rabbit were having a rematch but seemed to have failed at it. I can't find a picture for this page either.
    Thank you for reading my blog. Sorry for having no pictures, but I hope I typed with enough detail to let you imagine the pictures.

  2. Dear Alexander,
    I like how you read a book by a comic strip writer. It was probably very entertaining. What was your favorite comic strip in the book? What kind of sense of humor do you think the writer has? Would you recommend this book to your friends? Good job trying to describe some of the comics in your blog without any pictures. I would recommend you rate the book next time.

    Your friend,
    Jared

  3. Dear Julio,

    Thank you for commenting and the comment. There were not really any favorite parts in this book or any unfavorite parts. It is more like jokes. I would not recommend this book and would rate it 3/5 because it is not really that funny.
    Thank you for the suggestion. A suggestion I have for you commenting is don't list.

  4. Dear Jared,

    Thank you for the comment. My favorite comic stript or picture in this book is the second picture I described in my blog. I think you author has a sense of humor that you have to think of to laugh. But, it is easier to laugh at a joke you made. I would not recommend this book to my friends because most of the book is not laugh-out-loud funny.
    Thank you for the suggestion. I would rate this book 3/5 because the humor is not really funny.

    Your friend,
    Alexander Yan
