IIRC, in his book Gary Larson wrote that he got a lot of negative comments from Goodall fans/defenders after this cartoon was published, but Jane Goodall herself asked him for a signed copy, which she hung in her office. Or something like that...

True. From a 2011 episode of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me

SAGAL: We understand that - one of my favorite stories that came across about you was about a Gary Larson cartoon some years ago.

GOODALL: Oh yes, that was a lovely one.

SAGAL: Can you describe it?

GOODALL: Yes. It's two chimpanzees and the female is grooming the male, and he's got his back to her. And she's holding up a hair and she's saying, ah, another blonde hair. Doing some more research, in quotes, with that Jane Goodall tramp?

(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)

(SOUNDBITE OF APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: We were told that your foundation saw it and was very angry with Mr. Larson, but you were not.

GOODALL: Well, I mean this stupid woman who was the executive director at the time wrote and said this implied that Jane Goodall has sexual relationships with the chimpanzees. I mean honestly.

(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)

GOODALL: No, I thought it was very funny. And I think if you make a Gary Larson cartoon, boy you've made it.

SAGAL: That's true. It's absolutely true.

Comedic collateral damage from tragic news, often the only way people know to cope, is sometimes priceless.

This is priceless, the Monday morning quarterback analysis, a series of mistakes, but in down home terms, lololololollllll

""Probably multiple things went wrong" to cause an aging but reliable state ferry to run aground Saturday night off Bainbridge Island."

What's not covered in terms of ambiguity here?

I need to remember this one for future CYA ;]

Just pray you don't ever have to hear these words from your luthier, lol.
