This reminds me of a cartoon from the 1980s or early 1990s that I saw in the industry magazine Computerworld or Datamation (don't remember which). Anyway, I liked it so much that I made a photocopy of it and kept in on my office wall for years as a reminder to myself to thoroughly debug my creations before siccing them on my users.

The artist is notable, but I don't even remember what was being advertised. Still, the image of an innocent scientist turning his back on his beloved creation is sooo Gahan Wilson.

I haven't found this image in any Wilson collection. I presume that it's because it was advertising in now-defunct niche specialty media. Since I just now pulled my copy out of desk files that I hadn't touched in years and scanned it into an image site, this is probably the first time this piece of Gahan Wilson art has been seen in many decades.

Oh yeah. Gahan Wilson did a ton of stuff for Playboy publications back in the day. A very successful artist.
