Shot Who?
In helping my spouse's family do genealogical research I've come across many old newspaper errors and misprints. I wonder how a historical error of this magnitude will show up in existing archives decades from now, and will make a way into a student's term paper or a family history album.

Visual Pun Stings Artist
BARISTA nipped a copy of the art in question, since artist Don Stewart has decided to gracefully discontinue distribution and sales of at least one clever drawing he created. The composite piece consisted of skillfully placed images of insects in the shape of a popular vehicle. Trademark issues reared their heads from a corporate nest full of compound-eyed legal personnel and Mr. Stewart ultimately decided to be a good sport. You can still see lots of great composite art on Mr. Stewart's web site, including a saddle and a snakeskin boot. It would be nice if Mr. Stewart could work something out with several manufacturers. It would be fun to see what he could do with caterpillars.
