Difficulty: difficult.
The task: Find which "Far Side" book contains the comic with the caption "Suddenly, Professor Liebowitz realizes he has come to the seminar without his duck."
The first person to post the answer, or even better, post the actual picture, can officially call themself the "Master of Information Retrieval"
Good luck to you all!

Is that sufficient, Master?

It must have not been that hard: it took him 13 minutes.
Pretty weak challenge.

It certainly was difficult for me, who happens to be several hundreds of miles away from his Far Side books.

LOL ... I was thinking the same thing last night.
"But I could be anybody!"
"No you couldn't, sir. This is Information Retrieval."

While we're at it, can we get a round of applause for The Far Side?
Best. Strip. Ever.
Well, except for possibly Calvin & Hobbes...
