Kate Beaton is actually a major inspiration for the Hamilton musical, there's a line from one of her eeeaaarrrly comics that gets quoted as a power line during one of the songs.

Kate Beaton is the Eternal Queen of Canada, and I will hear no more of this non-sense.

She may have won a bunch of stuff but I still don't get the goon love for her TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I’m walking a fine line here. On the one hand, I confess to finding it quite flattering that some of my fans have created web sites displaying and / or distributing my work on the Internet. And, on the other, I’m struggling to find the words that convincingly but sensitively persuade these Far Side enthusiasts to "cease and desist" before they have to read these words from some lawyer. What impact this unauthorized use has had (and is having) in tangible terms is, naturally, of great concern to my publishers and therefore to me — but it’s not the focus of this letter. My effort here is to try and speak to the intangible impact, the emotional cost to me, personally, of seeing my work collected, digitized, and offered up in cyberspace beyond my control. Years ago I was having lunch one day with the cartoonist Richard Guindon, and the subject came up how neither one of us ever solicited or accepted ideas from others. But, until Richard summed it up quite neatly, I never really understood my own aversions to doing this: "It’s like having someone else write in your diary," he said. And how true that statement rang with me. In effect, we drew cartoons that we hoped would be entertaining or, at the very least, not boring; but regardless, they would always come from an intensely personal, and therefore original perspective. To attempt to be "funny" is a very scary, risk-laden proposition. (Ask any stand-up comic who has ever "bombed "on stage.) But if there was ever an axiom to follow in this business, it would be this: be honest to yourself and — most important — respect your audience. So, in a nutshell (probably an unfortunate choice of words for me), I only ask that this respect be returned, and the way for anyone to do that is to please, please refrain from putting The Far Side out on the Internet. These cartoons are my "children," of sorts, and like a parent, I’m concerned about where they go at night without telling me. And, seeing them at someone’s web site is like getting the call at 2:00 a.m. that goes, "Uh, Dad, you’re not going to like this much, but guess where I am. " I hope my explanation helps you to understand the importance this has for me, personally, and why I’m making this request. Please send my "kids" home. I’ll be eternally grateful. Most respectfully, Gary Larson

Except it's used to be common for someone to go "hey guys he requests us not post his comics" and in the past the post would just get edited with a "sorry Gary!" Looks like that may be over since nobody has complained the last couple times cow tools came up

Sorry for being too specific. She may have won a bunch of stuff but I don't get it because I don't find her that funny. Better? But it's okay to not like things because humor is subjective and I understand my taste is broken. Hope this helps.
