This three-page cartoon was published in Tales From Tube, a 20-page comic book that first appeared as an insert in a 1972 issue of SURFER Magazine. Griffin's strip actually is untitled; it may be that he intended it to be "Owooo!" as that exclamation appeared on page one where a title should be—although it seems more likely that the word is there as a stand-in for raucous surf-movie crowd noise.
