The upside-down pyramid is an old gag, but the 180-degree inversion requires too much suspension of engineering disbelief for my taste. A 90-degree turn (with the pyramid standing on one of its triangular sides) would work better, but might be too difficult to draw convincingly.
P.S. Bully Herbig did a similar “inverted instructions” gag in the movie “Der Schuh des Manitu“, except that the structure was a tipi.
That movie sounds OK, but it can’t be half as funny as “The Manitou”, a 1978 movie with Tony Curtis as a fake psychic battling an evil entity trying to hatch from Susan Strasberg’s back.

Downpuppy: Movie? What movie? Comment on wrong post, maybe? Or am I half asleep?
@ Phil (3) – Downpuppy was referring @2 to the movie I linked @1. The film was an incredible hit in Germany, but it does contain a very large amount of politically (and socially) incorrect humor (distantly comparable to “Blazing Saddles”). On the original DVD, there was a 10 to 15 minute “highlights” clip, which the original actors had synchronized into English. They had the idea of releasing the film in the U.S., or finding a studio to do an English-language remake, but after watching that highlights reel, I could not see any possibility that any American studio would want to risk it.
Ah, doh. See, I told you I was half asleep! Thanks.

What blonde? That’s clearly a redhead.
Also, what signage? That’s a graffito. And what does it have to do with anything?

Carl, are the separator lines not performing their job properly for you? Zbicyclist’s editorial note in the post with “The blonde is, of course, his sister,” is grouped with, and thus referring to, the Adult Children cartoon below it (and not the Bizarroabove it, which does have a redhead).
The pyramid joke makes me think of an old story, maybe from a “Bert and I” record, maybe not.
Builder: “Oh, I forgot to ask. Do you want us to build your house from the top down or from the bottom up?”

Pluto encountered mirrors in 1940:
I think I mentioned this once before, but it was quite some time ago: I happened to see approximately the second half of an amateur documentary, in which parents filmed their own (approximately) two-year old son(†), who had never before seen a mirror.
They had placed a typical “shoe store” mirror on the floor in the living room, and proceeded to watch (and film) as the kid went nuts, trying to get the “other” kid to play with him. In the part I saw, he was beginning to understand what was going on, and gradually lost interest in the mirror.
P.S. (†) – He had fairly long blond curly hair, and could easily be mistaken for a girl.
