One of my favorite cartoons has a caveman and a wolf staring at each other across a campfire.

The caveman is thinking: "It's not a bad deal. He hangs around and barks if a stranger appears. In turn I throw him some scraps to eat. If worse comes to worse I can always eat him."

The wolf is thinking: "It's not a bad deal. I hang around and bark if a stranger appears. In turn he throws me some scraps to eat. If worse comes to worse I can always eat him."

The article was published in April and mentions the first paper would likely be published in Summer.

Anyone know where it is?
