Tl;dr- The Jane Goodall Foundation objected to the cartoon and threatened legal action. Larson then refused to allow the comic to be reprinted. Turns out Jane Goodall wasn't even aware of what her foundation threatened. She loved the comic. Had Larson come visit her habitat where he was beat up by a monkey. She then wrote the forward to The Far Side 5. Also, al money made off that particular comic was donated to her foundation.

That's funny; kind of like George Lucas' lawyers threatening Mad Magazine before finding out Lucas was a fan and loved their parody.

there was one i searched all over for that I wanted to add. A family of people were fleeing from a city in ruins (can't remember if it was huge fire, a UFO death-raying the city, or maybe a mushroom cloud, etc.) and they had their dog in the car with them. The people all had terrified looks on their faces and they were all focused straight ahead. All the dog cared about was looking at the other dog over on the side of the road. No caption to that one, I don't think.

This one was in the Pre-History of the Far Side book where Larson provided the History of the Far Side and how it started and also gave anecdotes about some specific ones throughout the years (This book include the story of the Jane Goodall tramp comic).

In this one, it was mainly a regret when a friend of his said he should have use the term "colliding" instead of "hitting"... his response was, "dammit, he was right"

I don't think Larson would appreciate this thread.

I might agree here, but I'm simply re-posting from the internet myself.

Please don't kill the messenger!
