Heritage Auctions item description

Note:  Readers are kindly asked to check under their beds for a stray copy of the December 1967 issue of Playboy. I would like to be able to post a scan of this cartoon by Sidney Harris as it appeared on page 275. I tried using the Internet Archive, but I'm just not evolved enough.

"Either it's gigantic or I don't understand perspective."
