I was suprised the thagomizer comic wasn't included. Simply due to the legacy it created by becoming the real name now used to describe the spike tail on dinosaurs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer

    It was acknowledged but rejected:

    It's tempting to associate greatness with the comic strips that made the biggest impact, like the Stegosaurus strip that resulted in a new name for a dinosaur bone, but Larson’s work never set out to end up in science books.
