Repo Man: [img.fark.net image 850x1417]

Repo Man: brantgoose: Where ever did you get this from? Good satire and cartooning. I gave it two Voteys.

I hope the cartoonist and writer made a whole history of Soviet technology or whatever. Cool.


The artist is Stan Mott, and his work was published in National Lampoon back the the seventies/early eighties.

"Sokerov's final effort was the Jet-O-Round adapter, here installed on famed TU-114 for testing at Volga Air Works. Adapter was designed to give unlimited power on limited fuel with virtually no air pollution! The principle on which it operated was much like harnessing the power of the sun; hot exhaust was directed back under the wings and into the front of the engines, turning them over faster, which blew out more hot exhaust directed back under the wings...ad infinitum! Unfortunately, Sokerov, as a result of an indiscretion made while being introduced to the spouse of NKVD chief Schelepin ("Sokerov, this is my wife..." "Sokerov yourself, you brought her! Hah!"), was chained to the pilot's seat and forced to push the starter button. Still, we say, hail to thee, Igor Sokerov!"

dryknife: My grandmother visited Lithuania in the late 50's, early 60's and brought back some Soviet bloc cigarettes. The tobacco-to-filter proportions were reversed; those smokes had like a 3 inch filter with about an inch of tobacco at the end.
