| We do not expect to find references to a camera obscura in the Sunday comics. When we opened our paper on April 17, 2005 we were delighted to find that the first frame of the strip One Big Happy by Rick Detorie featured a camera obscura! The balance of the strip is Joe's take on the history of photography which we really found amusing. We noticed that the image the artist was drawing was rectangular and projected right-side-up on the wall rather than round and upside down. We sent an email to Rick Detorie and received a gracious reply giving us permission to post a corrected version on this site. | |
