Jaws
No explanation for this apparatus was found at the source, but it appears to be a dealie for some giant ape-goes-berserk movie of long ago. If anyone has more info, drop a line in the comments.

[Update 14 April 2010– Peter found the source, a 1940 issue of Popular Mechanics. See the comments for the link.]
Gang Signs of the 1960s
Yep, that’s where it all started. The original Avenues Crips, flashing lower case A’s. That’s the late Cuzz Tookie Williams on the right.

Koko and Fitz try to change the climate. Fleisher’s “Out of the Inkwell” series was nothing less than bizarre, and this is a good ‘un.
