    Surprised he didn't meet his maker at 66.

    Ken Potts. One of the final two survivors of the USS Arizona. When asked if he wanted his ashes interred on the memorial, he declined, reportedly saying “I escaped once from that ship. I’m not going back.”

    Slowly.
    Having had children whose cat was run over (without stopping), I can understand that pain.

    I never heard that story but it tracks with everything about MAD. That whole staff are childhood heroes of mine. Hilarious and subversive and a fine nose for institutional bullsh-t.

    God what they would do with internet culture now.

    I’m curious now when such a concept was first invented.
    I believe there are triptychs which when you fold them up match up to some other image, so maybe 1000 years?
