Interesting!

illustration by Franz Altschuler for Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" which was featured in the June 1956 edition of Playboy. I'll have to look up Mr. Altschuler, I like his style.

I of course instantly recognized "A Sound of Thunder". It has been in a zillion magazines, and *all* of them have illos containing

[1] a magic levitating walk way
[2] a T-rex

@nyrath The specific version of "A Sound of Thunder" I first experienced was from the radio adaption in Bradbury 13 in 1983.

But I wasn't satisfied with the Bradbury 13 cover art, so I went with a random illustration of that story (the one which featured time travel).

The levitating metal walk way, of course, is the feature which positively identifies which story the illustration is about.

@isaackuo double-positive identification if there is a levitating walk way AND a stepped-on butterfly in the illustration

I remember seeing an illo featuring a butterfly in a footprint inset in the lower right corner

@nyrath By my time, some illustrations were only of the smashed butterfly.

Seems like a pretty insignificant detail of the story, though. I mean, it's pretty implausible for the result of a POTUS election going the other way could be THAT bad, could it? What a quaint and utterly irrelevant fantastical thought.
