Here's how to lay out the illustrations. They divide into four classes:
1. Crunchly cartoons from the original `Crunchland' tableau.
2. The Crunchly strips proper.
3. The new Crunchly cartoon by Guy.
4. The `blivet' illo.
5. The `eat flaming death' panels.
Almost all the Crunchly cartoons are grouped into 4-panel strips (the
exceptions are the big tableau spread that started the series, #1
above, the 3/17/76 strip consisting of 8 panels, and the 5/1 strip as
noted below). The early ones (before 10/4/75) are physically grouped into
4 panels per original page. The 10/4/75 strip is spread across two
pages. All the later ones are inked in a larger size, one panel per
original page, except for the 5/1 strip which is a three-panel strip
spread across two original pages.
In almost all cases, we want to use the cartoons in their four-panel
groups, reduced to a uniform size and occupying a page each. The
exceptions are (again) the vignettes from the tableau spread, and the
8-panel 3-17-76 strip, which gets broken up into three groups:
Panel 1: Runs on the section-heading page for the lexicon.
Panel 2: Runs as a single panel in-line with the `batch' entry.
Panels 5-8: Runs as a four-panel group with `flushed'.
The three-panel strip from 5/1 could either have its own page or be
run in-line, 3 panels across the page.
This uses all the Crunchly strips except the `surfers integral' one (5/24/73)
and panels 3,4 of 3/17/76.
The vignettes from the tableau should be reduced to single-panel size
and run in-line with their entries: likewise for Guy's all-new `C'
cartoon (#3). There will be three of these:
Ada: The PL/1-FORTRAN dialogue (caption: `Nowadays we say this of Ada.')
C: The SNOBOL-C dialogue
(caption `The Crunchly on the left looks a little ANSI')
LISP: The APL-LISP dialogue (caption `We've got your numbers...')
Real World: The RPG-COBOL vignette (caption: `Life in the Real World.')
Note that the SNOBOL crunchly is paired with a new cartoon by Guy; a
crunchly labeled `C', saying `Number crunching used to be double
trouble for me, but I'm more single-minded now.'
All the full-page illos will be captioned. If the full-page illos are
set flush with the top of text, then on a 26 x 49 pica layout that
should leave about five lines of text at the bottom. Captions are
already set in the text.
In the illustration references below, a `full page' illo will have its
own page facing text; `in line' illos will be run following their
entries. Each date labels a Crunchly strip (#2); numbers following a
colon are panel numbers. The `vignettes' are the four pieces of the
Crunchland tableau described above. The odd ones out are the `blivet'
and `eat flaming death' illos.

letter of the English alphabet). In their unmodified forms they look a lot
alike, and various kluges invented to make them visually distinct have
compounded the confusion. If your zero is center-dotted and letter-O is
not, or if letter-O looks almost rectangular but zero looks more like an
American football stood on end (or the reverse), you're probably looking at
a modern character display (though the dotted zero seems to have originated
as an option on IBM 3270 controllers). If your zero is slashed but
letter-O is not, you're probably looking at an old-style ASCII graphic set
descended from the default typewheel on the venerable ASR-33 Teletype
(Scandinavians, for whom Ø is a letter, curse this arrangement).
(Interestingly, the slashed zero long predates computers; Florian Cajori's
monumental <i class="citetitle">A History of Mathematical Notations</i> notes
that it was used in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.) If letter-O has
a slash across it and the zero does not, your display is tuned for a very
old convention used at IBM and a few other early mainframe makers
(Scandinavians curse <span class="emphasis"><em>this</em></span> arrangement even more,
because it means two of their letters collide). Some Burroughs/Unisys
equipment displays a zero with a <span class="emphasis"><em>reversed</em></span> slash. Old
CDC computers rendered letter O as an unbroken oval and 0 as an oval broken
at upper right and lower left. And yet another convention common on early
line printers left zero unornamented but added a tail or hook to the
letter-O so that it resembled an inverted Q or cursive capital letter-O
(this was endorsed by a draft ANSI standard for how to draw ASCII
characters, but the final standard changed the distinguisher to a tick-mark
in the upper-left corner). Are we sufficiently confused yet?</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="me.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../0.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="one-TBS.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">/me </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 1TBS</td></tr></table></div></body></html>

Orange River Chamber
You are in a splendid chamber thirty feet high. The walls are frozen rivers of
orange stone. An awkward canyon and a good passage exit from east and west
sidesof the chamber.
A cheerful little bird is sitting here singing.

Dropped.
&gt;take bird
You catch the bird in the wicker cage.
&gt;take rod
Taken.

At Top of Small Pit
At your feet is a small pit breathing traces of white mist. A west passage ends
here except for a small crack leading on.
Rough stone steps lead down the pit.
&gt;down
In Hall of Mists
You are at one end of a vast hall stretching forward out of sight to the west.
There are openings to either side. Nearby, a wide stone staircase leads
downward. The hall is filled with wisps of white mist swaying to and fro almost
as if alive. A cold wind blows up the staircase. There is a passage at the top
of a dome behind you.
Rough stone steps lead up the dome.
