Re: Dinosaur-Bird Comic

A zillion or so years ago, there was a comic strip called "Robotman" that had a sequence of two comics involving an older woman and her parrot/cockateel thing ("Polly," as I recall) where the woman was teasing the bird about how it couldn't possibly have had a dinosaurian ancestry, and the bird retaliated by attempting to (in its own words) "snack on a protomonkey." Does anyone (a) have copies of either or both of these comic strips, (2) know where they can be found (there are Robotman books, but which one?), or (3) know if they are available on-line anywhere? I'd love to use them as part of some talks I'll be giving in another month or two. Many thanks in advance for anyone and everyone's help!

THIS robotman?
