    Actually, reälity has sort-of caught-up with the archæology cartoon. Students really do go out and excavate some of the abandoned sites in the California desert where de Mille shot his films.

    I wonder if they find petrified ham sandwiches or old KFC boxes, left over from the lunches served those "thousands of extras"?

    That will never happen again now that special effects are done on computers. Great cartoons by a great cartoonist. They are timeless.
