Well, I guess you had to offset the intense deadlines some way! This is a LM-3 Xeroxed interoffice cartoon by an unnamed Grumman employee. Check out the astronauts' faces in the windows...  |

I'm worried for the health of the hungry spider shown in that cartoon. Its method of consuming "Gumdrop" is (how can I put this delicately?) a reversal of the normal flow along the alimentary canal.... |

Maybe its expelling rather then consuming (hence the distressed look on that spiders face).. |
