The Far Side Gallery 2 is the second anthology of Gary Larson's The Far Side comic strips.

The foreword was written by Stephen King.

The cover shows an explorer/scientist opening a coffin with a picture of a cow pharaoh on the front.

Mordecai Richler wrote in 1987:[1] I have a hunch that Gary Larson, no stranger to irony, is more amusing if his cartoons are caught one at a time rather than gathered in a fat collection, as in THE FAR SIDE GALLERY and THE FAR SIDE GALLERY 2 (Andrews, McMeel & Parker, $9.95 each).

The problem is that once you have tuned into his humor it becomes somewhat predictable.Nevertheless, the book sold well.
