Birds do it, bees do it, even cocktail-swilling sheep do it. . . everybody's doing it in this year's The Far Side Mating Rituals 2006 Mini-Wall Calendar. Or attempting to do it, anyway. In the land of The Far Side, the mating game is more often a comedy of errors. A lovesick duck tries to woo a decoy. . .a jilted buck receives a "John Deer" letter. . . a tongue-tied Tarzan blows his pick-up line. In this conveniently sized monthly calendar, each full-color cartoon serves as a sort of surrealist dispatch from the front lines of love's battlefield. The consensus report? If all courtship went the way it does in The Far Side, we'd have ourselves one big, fat, empty planet. The Far Sider is a registered trademark of FarWorks, Inc.
