LAYERS OF CAKE

You can't see the whole grim layout, but you can certainly make out the pertinent details; you can see that that our passing is celebrated by new adepts, who are running the show with a great deal of disinterest. But what will the entire melange reveal? Oh, dear reader!

This breathtaking picture was painted to be part of a film montage of scary images used to advertise horror-movie specactulars in movie theaters in the early 1960s. I saw it many times, but never this clearly; there was animated white lettering that obscured it, lettering that said WE DARE YOU TO SEE... before it shimmered and faded away, taking the image with it. What this picture doesn't say about life doesn't need to be said. Thanks to Tom Dougherty for uncovering it.

But can you predict what will appear on the right hand, or "modern" side of the paper? Of course you can!
