World's E-fair-mera: Building the World of Tomorrow
As promised, here's the 3rd, and probably final, entry in my World's Fair series: an album of 18 glorious color illustrations for the 1939 New York World's Fair, published by Krug Baking Company. Please wallow in its retro-futuristic goodness as you slide into the weekend! [Link]

Thanks for the work! I am still pissed of that this naive and perfect future never came true.

I like Yogi Berra's saying "The future ain't what it used to be"

Dieter: yeah, some naive and perfect futures are better than others.
Fritz: very apropos!

As much as I like the movie Blade Runner I never would want to live there. The Star Trek universe has some nice spots - but I guess Futurama would be the best.

I'd pick Futurama...definitely.
