Gary Larson cartoon incident​


In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[126] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[127] She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[128]

Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[129] Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[130] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals. In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[127] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[126][131]
