Words, Lines and Pictures: The Multigraph Puppets Theater
The Multigraph corporation spares no expense impressing visitors to their big 1939 World's Fair exhibit! Roly-poly puppets named "Words, Lines and Pictures" perform their spiel with help from a record player hidden in another room. The humanoid figure behind them is the boss who "puts them on the carpet" until they come up with a more affordable means of duplicating forms. "We've got the answer!" they shout. Yet another example of the wonderful future awaiting us all.
