Snafu for the Sears Tele-Games Super Video Arcade (Sears-branded Mattel Intellivision) from 1981. Snafu was Mattel's version of Surround, a.k.a. Snake. The unique Sears box art was always interesting.

FROSTBITE for 2600 (Activision, 1983)

Cool game where the goal is to jump on ice floes to build an igloo before temperature goes too low, while avoiding bears, geese and crabs. Steve Cartwright (author) also did Megamania and Seaquest for the 2600.

Ad for Solar Fox by CBS Electronics for Atari 2600 from August 1983 Video Games Magazine. Sadly, Atari 5200, 400/800, and Mattel Intellivision versions never saw release.

I’ve had this Sesame Street song perpetually stuck in my head for as long as I can remember.

That’s just bananas. 🍌

Artist’s drawing of a cat herding geese. From Deir el-Medina, Thebes, Egypt, c. 1550-1292 BC.

Some 3,500 years ago, the artist used a flake of limestone as a handy sketchpad for this humorous painted scene.

Animals taking on human roles is a well-known motif in ancient Egyptian…

One of my favorite gags of all of The Muppet Show. It’s that attention to the little details.
