Look at the knockers on that hippo!

I am looking for a painting. I think it was in a book providing an overview of the popart movement.
It was of a naked woman on a hippo. The woman had pronounced tan lines and the hippo, well, the genitals on the hippo were also noticeably pink. Looking at it, I wondered if the chick or the hippo was the pinup. I am pretty sure it falls in the fine art category and is intended as a spoof on the pinup. Bonus points if you can tell me how to obtain a print.

Would that be "Hippotamus" by Mel Ramos?
Sorry I can't link to it, I'm answering this on my mobile phone.

Best answer: ebay auction for a print.
i'm dubious about the legitimacy of that reproduction, however.
here's a large-scale version of the image.
