Several years ago (well, actually it was about 20 years ago...ahem!) I was working in an office cubicle in California. I used to post all kinds of things on my padded walls for the amusement of myself and my fellow workers. Today, as I was going through a box of 1. Scoop lizard from pool.
2. Shake out lizard.
3. Massage lizard's torso, applying on and off pressure, directly behind frontal legs.
4. Apply mouth to mouth resuscitation to lizard's mouth, breathing slowly and forcefully.
If you're squeamish about human to lizard mouth-breathing you could blow up a balloon, put it over the lizard's mouth and release the balloon air into the lizard. Just a thought. You know, in case lizard's carry salmonella . . . .

That should be mandatory in the schools.
Hahhahhh
oh man I can't get over how awesome that is...
happy: I know, right? Maybe I should post this in my current office...
Um... I know what kind of office you work in; would resuscitating a lizard be a professional courtesy?
bwahahaha!!
By the way, I just tweeted your entry to all my friends on Twitter. ;)
esa: professional courtesy..yeah, that's the ticket...
you tweeted me on your twitter??!! um...ok?
Ah french lizardos as grandpa called them,they were fun to chase across the yard!!
Wait, is this thing serious? It's almost hard to tell. It sound so sincere! Interesting that one would happen on your blog today to find snails and lizards all over the place. Kinda gives me the heebie jeebies!
I love PSAs like this. They make me feel smart. :)
I would really love this made into a tee-shirt.

I second LUCKY's comment and would like to add a "b".

I have a copy of the exact same drawing that must be about 10 years older than yours. The text is the same, but a different font. Mine lacks the cross at the top. Across the bottom it reads "Form M-15 National Lizard League." I picked mine up in the SF Bay Area, though I've forgotten the exact source. At the time, many things came from my dad.
I liked your coloration. Nice to see another example.
Folks were copying this and passing it around in the mid-1970s, in LA. A friend gave me one, blurry, run-off on a duplicator, and I cleaned it up nd made a lot of xerox copies and mailed them all over the country. Glad to see it's available on the Intertubes.
I first encountered this in 1994; it was given to me by a college prof in reply to a bit of fiction I was writing that I couldn't make work. On reading this I jettisoned the script and started fresh. He lauded my new work, and the 'lizard' was never seen, let alone a concern, again.
