Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	The sun appears on the left side of the cartoon, saying that it is used to all kinds of things orbiting around it, but that the beep-beep sound made by man-made satellites recording [our] space secrets is new. Russias Lunik satellite and Americas Pioneer fly near the sun. The moon says that the Pioneer has passed it by, preparing for the future, when the satellite will try to land there. The Earth asks What next?. In the bottom right corner, a star labeled Lou Costello falls from the sky. Knechts elephant tosses a memorial wreath towards the star and says that he made us laugh.
