A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Baby Painting Room. By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The same trail leads to another fact: In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. That gives Baby Painting Room a little more company than it first appears to have.
