Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 15, 2015

That’s M.C. Escher, right?

Btw, if you haven’t seen the new Night at the Museum movie yet, the Escher scene will make it worthwhile.

Next, Lio, do us a Möbius Strip; then, a Klein Bottle! Topographically ambiguous snow-modelling is such fun!

Cool!

lio always finds a way to make you go cross-eyed.

Don’t mess with people’s heads, Lio!

It is only an optical delusion…

I wanna see him do a snow Klein bottle

I’ve always liked this image. Good one.

That’s the Penrose triangle, invented by Lionel and Roger Penrose. They told Escher about it and he used it in many of his pictures.When I Wikipediated ‘Penrose triangle’ I learned that ‘It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934.’Great cartoon.

Classic
