Except I don’t remember any the exact particulars, if it was a cartoon, a line drawing, or a painting. So the description following may be wrong in almost every detail. But the gist of it is that it’s a scene of a virtually empty flat desert except for something like two small rocks and maybe a cactus about a foot high and four inches wide. The scene is titled “three Apaches”.

Just to let you know that you are not going crazy, yes I remember it. Very good gag. Like you I am fuzzy on the details. I thought just a line drawing. I hoped it was Gary Larson but, although he has plenty of cactus cartoons, it wasn’t. Now I am annoyed that I can’t dig it up.

Something like that is mentioned in the book **Those who Hunt the Night** by Barbara Hambly. Or possibly the first sequel **Travelling with the Dead**.
