What, Jay, you’ve never seen a Space Fork before?I thought ever geek and/or engineer had one kicking around somewhere. Mine’s in the drawer where I keep my Sky Hook along with a roll of Flight Line and a box of Ohms.
Drawing it isn’t so hard. I’ve been reproducing that silly thing all my life. Figuring out how to color the background- that was tricky. You really can’t use much color or you break the illusion.
I saw it in MAD magazine in the early ’60s when I was in high school. I remember Veeblefetzer and Potzrebie, too. My Geometry teacher turned us on to it.

This art work is just an illusion.

That would rate a ‘bazinga’ for sure.

We used to put threads on the three bars; …tines?..spindles?…rods?

Now can you make the square socket for the three prong Blivitt? I made one out of stained glass once. My art professor thought I was nuts.

Not as hard to draw as it is to sculpt.

They had to keep people dumb, so they wouldn’t catch on.
