Buying The Far Side ® Gallery 4


About one minute of exposure to the inside print ink (could be paper too, but was probably the ink) gave me a migraine within a couple of minutes, that lasted more than a 24-hour day.

I am severely chemically sensitive to multiple varieties of chemicals (mostly man-made synthetics), but was never exposed to ink this toxic, not in newsprint, laser copy, or anything printed.

It is printed in China, but so are a lot of innocuous books I've read. i.e. Maybe I just got a batch wreaking of shipping container fumigant or some other contaminant - who knows?

Plant-based ink doesn't bother me, but even petro-based ink never gave me a migraine this severe, lasting this long.Get more detail about The Far Side ® Gallery 4.
