One of my favorite Far Side comic strips is the one where two gorillas are sitting in a tree eating bananas and one of them tells the other "I know that all of us love bananas, but I really, really love bananas." I can't find that on the web anywhere, so it must not be anyone else's favorite.
Strangely, when I do Google image searches on terms like "far side gorillas really love bananas" I get a bunch of Far Side comics along with photos of Russell Crowe and Rodney Dangerfield.

I remember that one! The caption is fairly elaborate and philosophical. Can't find it ... but it apparently is in the 2007 Far Side Wall Calendar--

gary larson and team are actually quite harsh on enforcing their copyright, and i've stumbled upon a bunch of takedown notices when looking for a cartoon myself. i don't imagine it's working out for them, but that could explain the difficulty of finding the banana-loving gorilla cartoon (which is very funny, yes).
an example from chilling effects:

i do believe it goes like this:
"y'know, i LOVE bananas.
i mean, we ALL do. but for me, it goes beyond that"
uncertain of the last sentence but it's in the ball park.
i love larson. i mean, we all do...

Hal, I really like bananas. I mean, we all like bananas. But for me, I think it goes a little bit deeper.
