illustration of a short story spread which reads "Atop an abandoned astronomy tower lived a tiny astronomer. Bert the beetle was very infatuated with outer space. Every night he would longingly look out into the sky, smile, and blush. 'You're so beautiful' Bert muttered. 'Oh I know,' a nebulous voice responded."
