Asked ChatGPT and it told me the book might be "The Unix Programming Environment". It happens that the second link on Google is a pdf so I took a brief look, but did not find any cartoon. I asked it a second time and it said "UNIX for the Impatient", which does look like the one but I didn't find any pdf. Hopefully it helps.
- RichardCA 1y agoThanks but no, everyone who came up in that era knew about K&P (K&R was the C book). The main publishers back then were O'Reilly, SAMS, QUE and a few others. I think it was a SAMS book but I'm not sure. A more likely candidate is the Kochan book but the original 1985 first edition. It had the scrappy sense of humor that characterized the Unix culture in the 80's. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293206.UNIX_Shell_Programming https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/293206.UNIX_Shell_Progra...
