    I remember around the time when it happened. Larson was THRILLED.

    ‘Larson also reprints a letter from an entomologist proposing to name a newly discovered species of chewing lice after Larson, Strigiphilus garylarsoni. The scientist explains that he did this “to honor the enormous contribution that my colleagues and I feel you have made to biology through your cartoons.” The image of this insect also appears in the form of a geometric design on the inside front and back covers.’

    Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
