Date: 23 September 1981 0005-EDT (Wednesday) From: Guy.Steele at CMU-10A To: cube-lovers at MIT-MC Subject: The Cube in the Comics Message-Id: <23Sep81 000559 GS70@CMU-10A> The "Ferd'nand" comic strip for 9/22/81 features the cube. (For those who don't see this strip: it's pure mime, with no word balloons. Panel 1: Ferd'nand sits in an armchair, struggling with a (scrambled) cube. Panel 2: In disgust he throws it out of a window. Panel 3: The cube sits on the lawn. Ferd'nand turns away, but still is glaring over his shoulder at the cube. Panel 4: Fred'nand is sitting on the grass where the cube had landed, struggling away again. Know the feeling?) --Guy
