Swiss humor - just for fun

Many years ago, Lockton's (LS 2535) draughtman, Sergio Saturnino Labato de Faria, would hide things on his maps. Nino is an artist first - surveying paid for his bread 'n water. Nino also was the cartoonist for the CalSurveyor during my time as editor.

Nino drew a guy urinating on rocks that you couldn't see until he showed you. My last issue of the CalSurveyor, as editor, Nino's cartoon had a Morse Code message in the ceiling and a chahauhau humpin' a guy's leg and more. Nobody caught it?

Today's Atlas Obscura has some "where's Waldo" hidden in their topos.

Enjoy

Mr. Danskin's last issue was #143 and Faria's cartoon is on page 27.

Mr. Danskin, I always thought that was a mouse trying to run up that guy's leg.

I remember the cartoon. And I remember the Morse Code pattern. I don't know Morse Code so I couldn't read the message. Perhaps someone will chime in with the answer.

Something like:

_ _ U _ IT IM OUT OF HERE PHYL THE FILL

The first being a 4 letter phonetically bad word.

I thought that was a French work . . . ?
