I did a web search on Gary Larson and he and his company seem
to strongly discourage online copies (not that they've succesful;
but that's beside the point.)

I now found an email address for his publishing company and sent an
email asking for permission to use the cartoon in connection with the
perl5-porters mailing list.

Those of you who have the "Valley of the Far Side" collection,
The cartoon is the one on the right at page 11.
ISBN 0-7515-0591-9, I'm afraid this is a British printing
so all you North Americans may be seriously out of luck.

No, I won't tell you the caption, I don't want to give the joke away.
