Was totally unaware of the hubbub this cartoon created. RIP
![Screenshot of Jane Goodall's Wikipedia entry that reads as follows:
Gary Larson cartoon incident
One of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons shows two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a blonde human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[107] Goodall herself was in Africa at the time. The Jane Goodall Institute thought the cartoon was in bad taste and had its lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity". They were stymied by Goodall herself: when she returned and saw the cartoon, she stated that she found the cartoon amusing.[108]
Since then, all profits from sales of a shirt featuring this cartoon have gone to the Jane Goodall Institute. Goodall wrote a preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy, and the institute's letter was included next to the cartoon in the complete Far Side collection.[109] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals. In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania,[108] he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gauyfljakqu7l5pkzelwlast/bafkreic4znhjq6um4zkucdkj4iemdsnciyaeom37mgdzqgymds74rmrt3q@jpeg)

It's for tightening lug nuts on my car, and the correct socket lives on it. I do a lot of highway driving, you see

Love to see these survivors still rolling around. My little brother is restoring our Grandpa's '86 F150. I love it, but it's still utterly miserable to drive hahaha

Also perennial favorite Light Asylum, who played some of her first new tracks in (12!) years. Talked about a new album dropping this year. Awesome
