Larson was unhappy about that cartoon, as too many people thought it was a bow.

I miss The Far Side!

We all do. However, I am glad it never turned into a zombie strip (e.g. "Garfield"). Even "Peanuts" ran out of steam for the last couple of decades, and Schulz' run was among the greatest ever.

That was great except for the perfume commercial breaking the flow.

The funniest misunderstood one was this one:

IIRC, he had no caption on the bottom (where it says "When Car Chasers Dream") and a firestorm broke out across the country...

People were outraged, this picture of a dog humping a car!

He was baffled, because that interpretation had never occurred to him.

He added the caption, but as he sadly pointed out, once you have to explain a joke, the damage is already done.

He said people were writing letters to syndicated newspapers demanding his perverted comic strip be banned...

(By the way, I read this from my books years ago and I might be remembering details incorrectly, but this was how I received it then!) I could just see all of this!

Probably a drill made of wood with a chert tip. Could have been spun with bare hands, a pump drill or a bow drill.

Making and Using a Fire Piston
For anyone interested in how to make charcloth: Get yourself an old Prince Albert Tobacco can. An Altoids tin works good too, but it just doesn't hold as much. Punch a hole in one end with a nail. Get yourself some 100% cotton cloth. Fold it up and fill the can. Not packed super tight, but full. Close the can and put it on a good heat source. I use a gas cooktop or camp stove. But a small campfire's fine too
I was amazed but it's one of those things for when TSHTF.
