There is enough interesting stuff in this issue that a minor Marc Hempel strip like this almost gets lost. What’s interesting is that this is more or less an attempt to make small-scale animations in comic strip form. The ad below the strip is for one of those places that made t-shirts with “hilarious” phrases printed on them. It’s sometimes worthwhile to read the small print to see what’s available, but only if you’ve read everything else in the magazine twice and there’s nothing else to do.
