[ExI] Could youse guys help me find a Scientific American cartoon?

[Jeff Davis]

Thanks, Bill.

Copyright's not an issue.  I'm not planning commercial distribution.
Just want one for me,... and one for you.

Thanks.

How did you find it.  I thought sure I saw it in SciAm.  Was I wrong?
Did I actually see it in the New Yorker, and misremembered?
