You can't just throw a Google search together!

Does anyone know the Far Side volume that includes the "posse organization" one?

I'm looking for a particular Far Side comic. This is as best I remember it:

There is a big ball of horses and cowboys, arms and heads and legs sticking out at weird angles, and there are two cowboys standing next to it, one of whom says (something like) "Dangit, Clem, you can't just throw a posse together. You've gotta organize it!"

For the life of my, my Google searches have resulted in pretty much nothing. I would love to know which Far Side book contains it, but getting ahold of a high-res electronic version would be even better.

Help!

Best answer: Probably... "So you just threw everything together?...Matthews, a posse is something you have to organize."

Best answer: The reason you are not finding an electronic version is that Gary Larson is personally quite active in seeking out people who are posting his work on the Internet and sending them individualized, personal messages detailing why he is offended to see his work reproduced without permission. For obvious reasons most Far Side fans are happy to oblige and take the material off line.

Best answer: Cite for the above.

People seem to like using it in powerpoint presentations, however, and several of those in pdf format are online and findable with "a posse is something you have to organize" (I fail at linking pdfs).

Response by poster: idiopath, interesting! And that just means I'll need to buy the book notquitemaryann linked to and scan it in myself.

Shucks. :)

Thanks, you both!

notquitemaryann is right, a Google search for "posse is something you have to organize" filetype:pdf turns up lots of mid-to-low-res examples. Screenshot, crop, and... profit! Kidding, of course. If you intend to make money off it then please license it like a decent fella would.
