   This art work is just an illusion.

   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.

   Just curious, on your ‘name’ – do you still have one? What year? Traded my ‘69 383 (after it got hit by a snow plow) for a Charger. Wish I hadn’t. Would do 95 all day without a problem.

   Re: bhinkle ’s comment:
   Seems everybody knows your name. Is this “Cheers”?

   I first saw that “thing” in Mad Magazine in the 1960’s.

   I drew that in drafting class.
   It’s a ‘Blivitt’. Pronounced—‘B-liv-it’.
   Cool.

    Ode to Escher! But I never knew this had its own name. Thanks, icky.

    @Thomas Scott Roberts
    I did see the one where Rita did the bad job on Dr. Cooper!
    After seeing Wil Weaten on here, I think it’s time you threw Sheldon in here to “knock Rita down a notch” or something like that! ;D

    @SeaFox10

    That would rate a ‘bazinga’ for sure.

    It’s had more than one name. Blivitt is the first one I knew, but when MAD used it, they thought it was new (a reader sent it in and MAD took ownership,) they gave it their own name. "Pouyiout " or something. I don’t remember exactly.

    A 3 prong, 2 slot blivit, called a poiuyt by a Mad Magazine cartoonist looking at the top row of letters on his typewriter.
