[OM] OM-G in a Calvin and Hobbes comic
I'm a huge fan of Bill Watterson's comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. I waslooking
at some of them online and found one where Calvin imagines himselfshrank to
insect size, and in that state he climbs around on a camera. Thecamera has no
nameplate but the shape and controls are those of an OlympusOM-G (OM-20 outside
the USA). Note the self-timer lever, the exposure compdial, the location of the
flash sync socket and the shape of the shutterrelease surround.
My first manual camera was an OM-G that I got at age 11.
