Where can I find an image of the illustration for Asimov’s “Christmas Without Rodney,” by Ralph McQuarrie?

No, but getting closer. The guy that did the illustrations also illustrated Star Wars. The illustration is contained in the book “Robot Visions” and features the newer and older model robots comtemplating each other with LeRoy crouching in front of the christmas tree. I have the book. Guess I could just scan the illustration, but I was hoping to find an online image. Thanks for trying, though. Much appreciated.

Please post it here after you scan it in, or PM me. I’ll even clean it up if you want, so it won’t look like a scan. This image sounds interesting.
