The mighty Etch-A-Sketch is a staggering 47 years old this week. That’s a whole ten years older than me (says the venerable blog author, lying about his age again and hoping no-one will notice).

Shana found an online Etch-A-Sketch this morning, which is loads of fun.

Meanwhile, George Vlosich III shows what you can do with Etch-A-Sketch if you really put your mind to it.

We are seriously considering getting a brand new Etch-A-Sketch when we’re in town later this week, and we’re really looking forward to our first few years of perfecting the art of drawing squares and oblongs. Maybe, if we’re really ambitious, we might try triangles. At this rate, we’ll be making George Vlosich III a bit nervous, oh, say in a couple of decades or so.
