I've seen copies of this classic series of cartoons 'The Captain as Seen By...' in ops and crew lounges all over the world. Most seem to be prints of the digitized images from the dialup modem era with compression artifacts. I'd love to find better quality online copies.

Apparently the originals were drawn by TWA Captain Russ Day for a friend's retirement party:

A series of cartoons he drew for Bill Dixon's retirement party in 1978, all neatly framed, were entitled: "The Captain as Seen by -- his wife, the copilot, the FAA, the Flight Attendants, etc. Russ says the theme was an old one, but his drawing and interpretations were all original. The drawings hang in a place of honor in Bill's apartment in San Jose, California, with copies at his late son's.
