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 stone. An awkward canyon and a good passage exit from east and west

sidesof the chamber.

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.

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.
