Most cartoons about natural selection and evolution aren’t very funny—at least not since Gary Larson went out of the business. But this one, a page of a calendar belonging to reader Howie, is pretty good.

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
I miss Gary Larson!! Sid Harris has done some very good science cartoons, too.
Yes indeed. In fact, Sidney Harris drew what might be the most famous science cartoon ever.
I love that one!!
Love it.
It should be God paying off the hitman! 😆

Haha!
And I think it’s even deeper than one thinks at first glance. It raises the question what the limits of natural selection are, and where intention and artificial selection begins, one I find intriguing.

I think we are called upon to post evolution cartoons. I will make it so, with Gary Larson.
One of the best!!
Yes, it’s a shame that the creationists can’t understand its import.
Looking through my cartoons, I see not even a handful on evolution, lending some evidence to Prof. Ceiling Cat’s hypothesis, stated in the first sentence of the OP.
So, I’ll go with this one, seen here recently, I think, but worth another look.

Gary Larson has a louse named after him: Strigiphilus garylarsoni is a biting louse of a genus only found on owls. He is justly proud of this high honor.
Don’t forget Zach Weiner’s Darwinian Superhero:
