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.
