For those that may not know, Squirrel Cage expert Carl Linich has figured out that Ahern drew ALL the Squirrel Cages in 3 tiers, even though it appears that after 1942 or so it was chopped down into two tiers for publication. We are still searching for a paper somewhere that may have ran the "complete" strips.<br /><br />And yes, oeconomist, this strip very strongly maps to the experience of altered states. Good observation.<br /><br />Lastly, I totally agree Frank that a day with Foozland is like a moon couch!<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments -- always appreciate folks' comments!Paul C.Tumeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398929835829679477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778777435910011284.post-43433838851668165832012-09-07T09:22:52.314-07:002012-09-07T09:22:52.314-07:00A day without Foozland is like a couch on the moon...A day without Foozland is like a couch on the moon!Frank M.

People hallucinate as a result of ingesting some things. They also hallucinate as a result of sleep deprivation, in which case the hallucination is essentially a matter of dreaming while awake. And, in this latter case, the cure for the hallucination is … to get some sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778777435910011284.post-1085761489265687492012-09-06T18:36:42.392-07:002012-09-06T18:36:42.392-07:00Ah, if only we could see the original for this one...Ah, if only we could see the original for this one!
