Found on a shelf in a Chinese supermarket—
This is on glossy paper, 6 x 10 1/2 inches. It may have been packed in a shipping carton, then put aside and forgotten as shelves were stocked.

The gaudy colors—and the humanoid fish—remind me of this Max Fleisher underwater world...

Tiger of the Month Club: August

Of all the months, this credibility failure is my favorite:

Frate Indovino: August Augur

"Traffic Report"

Cartoon based on the proverb of the month, "Who goes slowly goes safely and far."

A discussion follows, with additional proverbs/thoughts on safety and traffic.

Of course, these expressions usually don't translate well—even more so when they are just plugged into a program.

But, tortured syntax and all, this seems to contain plenty of good sense:

Today, thanks to the miracles of progress, can also change the proverbs. And then there are those who think it is useless to continue to lower speed limits, especially for those who want to bust, 50 or 100 does the same. And then the proverb says: "Never did good dog chain." Has anyone else tried to make us even on irony: "If we think about it, the more you stay on the road, the greater the chances of accidents: prudence therefore advised to go at full speed." (Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca). The reasoning seems to spin, but when we open the newspaper or turn on the TV, always jumps out of the usual news: "A long row, close the street, made a pass and so be it!" In life you can correct many errors, but in traffic, no, "It is true that those who arrive late ... bad park," but it is equally true that "we must not disturb the misfortunes when they sleep." Psychologists say that to protect the shell of your car, even the timid become lions, but what's the point then, if you just fall back rabbits? In conclusion, my advice is to drive carefully in mind cleared, and moderate speed, without competition of strength or cunning, and above all respect the traffic lights (keep an eye on the yellow ... traitor), because in crazy and chaotic bustle of life today, were the only instruments capable of us together.

The "Favorable Days" prediction sounds pretty much like Italian traffic:

unfavorable critical months that cause psychological distress in addition to possible geophysical consequences.
