my favorite is a very early Larson comic that I have never been able to find online
it is a blind guy panhandling with a cup an a sign around his neck
the sign says
"roses are red, violets are blue, that's what they tell me, because I am blind"

Does this mean new comics? I think it may be just a new website...

That Jane Goodall panel got a lot more attention than I think Larson ever expected it would. Apparently the executive director at the Goodall Institute wrote Larson a letter denouncing the panel and how dare he insult Dr. Goodall.
Goodall was away in Africa at the time and when she returned, she was quite honored to have made it into a Far Side cartoon. She contacted Larson, apologized for the staff's reaction, and eventually wrote the foreword for one of the Far Side Gallery collections. Larson licensed the panel for a t-shirt, with all proceeds going to the Goodall Institute.
Several years later, Larson made a trip to Tanzania t visit her lab in person. While there, he was attacked by a chimp and left with numerous scrapes and bruises.

Snopes will probably try to debunk them.
