After a four-year publication hiatus, retired Far Side cartoonist Gary Larson has released a greatest hits page-a-day calendar with all profits to benefit Conservation International.

From the USA Today article “Larson is drawn to the wild side”:

“I can’t imagine how we’ll be remembered by future generations if we allow this to happen,” says Larson. It’s a holocaust, he says, only instead of killing off people, we’ll be “the flora and fauna Nazis.”

The approximately $2 million will help CI’s Asia programs, including a campaign in China to reduce the hunting of threatened species for pets, medicine and food.
