Gahan Wilson cartoon from the mid-late 70's
Roy Westfall
Playboy, sometime in the mid to late 70's. It depicts two horrendous
monsters, one is chasing the other down the street. On the corner are
two ladies watching and one says to the other "It's just one god-damned
thing after another."
Any leads are greatly appreciated.

All I can tell you is that it's referred to as incidental detail late in the
novel _Trumps of Doom_ (1985) by the late Roger Zelazny:

But this hints that it's well-known, probably from elsewhere,
perhaps in some collection of cartoons by this writer/artist or
cartoons from Playboy. Gahan Wilson - is that the right name? I
don't recognise it. Are there any books on sale of his cartoons, in
print or out? www.amazon.com can probably tell you. Or is there
a Web site of his work?

Gahan Wilson is a respected cartoonist. Besides Playboy, his work used to
appear regularly in The National Lampoon. Perhaps you could find something at
their website- www.nationallampoon.com

He also did cartoons and illustrations for Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine
(?), as well as many other publications. And to return to the newsgroup topic:
he did "Gahan Wilson's Sunday Funnies" in 1974 & 1975 (syndicated by the Reg. &
Trib. Synd.). He is a great mixture of Charles Addams and Virgil Partch, and is
a worthy descendant of both. The "god-damned" line would indicate Playboy or
NatLamp; both of which put out cartoon reprint books (moreso Playboy). Playboy
even released an entire book devoted to Wilson's cartoons.

A publishing company called 'Forge' has (relatively) recently put out
two large collections of Wilson's cartoons: Gahan Wilson's Still Weird
and Gahan Wilson's Even Weirder. I don't think, however, that the
cartoon in question is in either of them.

I saw this cartoon in an early issue of Omni, if that's any help.

discussion. The signature is the actual payload.
BTW, you can now find the cartoon in about 30 seconds in google
images, which didn't exist when the query was originally posted.

the original. Deja.com is the ancestral URL of Google Groups (and still
forwards there, in fact).

forgotten or never knew that deja.com routed similarly. The 'Before

scam.
...a mystery.
