Impressive. This is the first original art of a Rube Goldberg machine that I come accross. Truly historic. Thank you for the explanation re the Bronx cocktail and congratulations for the acquisition of this rare gem!

Good old Barney and Spark plug!!! This comic strip is likely at the origin of google.com. The word "Google" was introduced in 1913 in Vincent Cartwright Vickers' The Google Book, a children's book about the Google and other fanciful creatures who live in Googleland. When mathematician and Columbia University professor Edward Kasner was challenged in the late 1930s to devise a name for a very large number, 10^100, he asked his nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, to suggest a word. Sirotta suggested the word “googol”, and in 1940, Kasner introduced the words "googol" and "googolplex" in his book, Mathematics and the Imagination. Milton Sirotta died in 1980, but author Bunny Crumpacker has speculated that the boy might have been thinking of Google the comic character. This is the term that Larry Page and Sergey Brin had in mind when they named their company in 1998, but their fellow graduate student Sean Anderson misspelled "googol" as "google". In 2002, when Page set up a scanning device at Google to test how fast books could be scanned, the first book he scanned was Vickers' The Google Book. (see references in Wikipedia)

Thank you for the detailed and enlightening commentary as per usual. The background is very reminiscent of the landscapes in George Herriman’s Krazy Kat. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this beautiful page.
