This vertical print shows a slick advertising image in the top half with a man and a woman watching an early model television set. The woman is smoking a cigarette. A text box is inserted asking three questions. The bottom half is less slick, simply a diagram and text, some of it in a typewriter font. Text above and below asks about how soon television sets will be widely available in homes and museums. The date 1944 is included in parentheses at the top of the image.

This color screenprint is separated into two main parts. At the top is a frame made out of unwrapped candy and wrapped candy bars with an image of a man flexing his arm, while a bikini-clad woman peeks from behind the bicep in the frame. The bottom half of the image has two blue and red stars, one on top of the other at the right, and a television to the left. The television has a handle at the top, with an arm coming from the upper candy-frame to hold the handle, and on the screen is a large moth on a red background.

Very colorful print with a series of colored bands, separated with black lines, at the top. Below the rainbow-colored bands are three fragmented images of the head of the Disney character Goofy, in teal, pink, yellow and white. The main portion of the print below has a series of differently organized and vibrantly colored grids and square patterns. At the base, there is an olive colored box, outlined in black, with black text reading: "Protocol-Sentences' the most adequate cosmological symbol centricity and radial arrangements organized, as a rule, according to quaternary point p a point would in turn give rise to yet more neutrons until a veritable avalanche developed: [mathematical equation] / [mathematical equation] ....
