Tom, did you really think Ken would stay so quiet if he was actually
subscribed? :-) He is still on hiatus while he finishes up a popular
science version of _Dinosaur Eggs and Babies_.  I've been in contact
with him, though, and he sometimes tells me to send his regards to
everyone on the list.  This looks like a good opportunity so
"regards!" :-)

If anyone wants to see a copy of the cartoon in question, it can be
found (among other places) in _The Prehistory of the Far Side_.  Gary
Larson wrote there that he would like to apologize for including
"cavemen" and dinosaurs in the same cartoon.  It was a good joke,
though, so I think we can forgive him.
