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?
