This is an obscure cartoon that mostly appears in minor alternative and hyperaltnertative weeklies in Edmonton and Vancouver (minor cities in the Far West of Canada).

I remember it well from when it first appeared in print, because Da Far West is where I used to live.

How one earth ever did you find this?

Someone else posted this particular strip on ET once, and I have posted it a few times since.

However, I happened to be a math graduate student in SoCal in a previous life, and the department was full of graduate students who knew and shared a lot about obscure alternative and hyperalternative cartoons. The wackiest students were my advisor's, and a most of us shared the same office.

Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

Ouch: I remember that song, from the days of first transistor radio. That must be why I imagined it was from the early 70s.
