Tally Ho!!!!:) and Aloha!!!

   I am searching for the Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson
involving a very large lady coming off a bench looking for her cat,
which she has accidently sat on. With the comment "Here Kitty,
Kitty..." underneath , if anyone can tell me in which Far Side book
it's located in that would be great!!! The name and title/year is what
I am looking for, if you have the page number even better!!! Thank
you!!! Samantha Brown:)))))) The Great North - Canada

Hello samantharandy-ga,

Thank-you for your question.

It is notoriously difficult to track down Far Side cartoons due to
their copyright being very strictly protected.

"It is difficult to find many Far Side cartoons online since Larson
(and/or his publishers and lawyers) have been very effective at
persuading people to not infringe on his copyright. There is a widely
distributed letter online, attributed to Gary Larson, in which he
explains the "emotional cost" to him of people displaying his cartoons
on their websites, and asks them to stop doing so."

If you are not looking to spend that amount of money just to get a
single cartoon, you may be able to locate a copy of the book at your
local library.  The following link enables you to search for the book
at a number of public libraries in Canada:

Thanks for your help, I will go to the library and check it out!! I
already knew about the volume of his work from 1980-1994 but I was
hoping a specific answer. Didn't want to have to search through all
the toons!! Oh well, maybe I'll get a good comment out there??

Thank you from Canada....go Olympic Team go!!!

Cute toon, it's almost the same thing but with a pup. Well, a smushed
pup anyways....LOVE IT!!:))))))))))

the cartoon your looking for is not a Far side ; it's a Herman cartoon
by Jim Unger and was first published in 1985.  Where you can get a
copy I don,t know.  It has been a favorite of mine since it was first
published.  I still have a laminated copy.  There are Herman
collection books .
