Soviet Cities On The Moon?

Note that the "butterfly-catching equipment" is a fishnet, and that
Science Digest is obviously not run by fishermen.
The satellite in the lower "little boy Sputnik" cartoon has a Maoist
look to me. The Moon looks like a child molester, and Mother Earth looks
like the end result of one too many peasant inbreedings. I think Saturn
is there to subconsciously remind the reader of constant KGB
surveillance from storm sewers. :-)

Wow, Albert Parry -- nee Paretskiy, Russian emigre,
and one of my earliest mentors.

Also, Billy Crystal's uncle (true!!).

....Pat, ping me in e-mail. I've got something to ask you, but just
like with Henry a few weeks ago it keeps bouncing back.

Russian joke:

L.I.Brezhnev is having a little walk in the Kremlin one evening. The
Moon
was just rising in the east and says to him:

"You, Leonid Ilich, are such a marvellous person that you even shine
brighter
than I do!"

Brezhnev is very happy- even the Moon thinks so good of him!

In the early morning he is walking again. Now the Moon says him:

"Who is the fat moron walking down there?"

"What!!!???", says Brezhnev, "You called me marvellous last night!"

"Screw you! Ha ha, I'm in the West now!"

Once again all is in chaos in the Soviet Union; the crops have failed,
pollution is everywhere, the dissidents are on the march, and the latest
Mars probe has failed.
The inevitable Kremlin shake-up occurs.
As the new Premier arrives in the disgraced Premier's office, the failed
old bear gives him two envelopes, numbered "1" and "2".
"Comrade... if all else should fail and the situation not improve, open
envelope "1" and do exactly what it says....if things still do not
improve, then open envelope "2" and do the same."
A year passes, but things are no better... the crops are diseased, the
nuclear reactors are melting down, the submarine fleet is permanently on
the ocean bottom.
In desperation, the new premier opens envelope "1"... inside he finds a
slip of paper stating: "Blame everything on your predecessor." In
thankful glee he heads for the Politburo and gives a three hour speech
in which he completely eviscerates the old Premier and the lasting
damage which his muddled policies did to the nation, to riotous applause.
Two more years pass, but still the situation does not improve....the
Ruble is worth less than toilet paper, and used as such by the people;
the populace of Poland can be seen mooning Russia through the barbed
wire fence on the border, and a West German child has ridden his
tricycle completely through the Soviet military forces and is now slowly
circling the Kremlin while whistling "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring".
In desperation the new Premier opens envelope "2" to see what to do
next... inside he finds a slip of paper stating: "First, get two
envelopes; label them "1" and "2"....". :-)
