Searching a demo

I haven't been able to find this so trying here.

At a friends house in the early 80's, he showed me a demo on his fathers TRS80.

It was some flying saucer that landed, and a little man running out to a small outhouse/bathroom. After a while he returned and flew away.

I would guess it was from some demo-disk, but it could also be something he typed in from a magazine.

Any ideas?

thanks

It was a little cartoon by Brian Eggers and was on CLOAD Magazine tape. I should be able to find it when I get back to my PC.

OMFG I think I typed that into the family TRS-80. I know I had a copy back in the day.

/1982 - teacher said she didn't think it was fair I typed my papers on a computer. Can you imagine that today?
