The second in the series of cartoons about surfaces. If you've ever wondered what that series of symbols used in the last frame to express swearing is called, wonder no more. That's a grawlix. The lines around Smith's legs are called blurgits (or swalloops, if you prefer). All the words were coined by Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey) in his book The Lexicon of Comicana. He invented them with his tongue firmly in his cheek, but they've stuck and they're now semi-official words.
