Stewardess, is that Bobby Hill on my flight?

I need your help to find an amusing airline safety instruction sheet I recently encountered while flying! My internet search skills are failing me - can anyone help?!?

This is really random, but here goes... While on recent flights in the United States (US Air operated by Republic Airways), I encountered the most amusing flight safety card for the Embraer 170 aircraft. The safety card featured drawings of a baby in a life vest who comically resembled Bobby Hill from King of the Hill. My colleague and I got quite a laugh out of it, and I wanted to get a copy of the instruction booklet for my own amusement. I figured it would be poor form to take the actual safety card off the airplane, but I was hoping to be able to find a picture online (the internet has everything, right?). Anyway, no such luck. Can anyone help me locate a photo (or the real thing)?!? Thanks in advance!

Safety Cards. I did a quick scan of some of the cards but didn't see anyone that looked like Bobby Hill. Maybe you'll have better luck, or you could try contacting the site's owner.

I found this just now while searching (second picture from top). It is a small portion of the card, showing another amusing graphic (this baby's diaper seems a little too full). I'm still trying to find the whole card, especially the picture of the Bobby Hill baby. I guess after over a million miles of air travel, one finds ways to amuse oneself . . .

I felt compelled to search again after dinner. Sadly, I did not find Bobby Hill. But I did find Luanne Platter.

I had a go, but didn't find any that had Bobby Hill either, sry.

Just had to add that my favorite flight safety card ever had a Furby in the "no electronic devices" graphic, which was an huge source of amusement during the flight. I actually took a photo of it, luckily.
