Pharaoh was an Environmentalist - The Pyramids in Pristine Landscape Gag Cartoon,

Urban sprawl with uncontrolled development can be upsetting to anyone, even a Pharaoh.
In this hilarious gag cartoon, Smilby associates a wonder of the world with expansive urban growth that upsets the natural environment. The cartoon depicts an Egyptian Patrician or Pharaoh and an Egyptian Noblewoman gazing out through the pristine desert to the Pyramids of Giza. The caption reads, " I can remember when this was unspoiled countryside."
"Pharaoh was an Environmentalist - The Pyramids in Pristine Landscape" is a study by Smilby. We are not sure if this was published; most likely, a version of it was published in a magazine like Playboy or Diners Club
