This is an updated version of the classic Cane cartoon. Here, as with the earlier version, one has to invoke some imagination as regards the 3D structure of the all-important shock wave. This version used a French curve template rather than a simple arc, but the Archivist has the feeling that there is horrible and yet vital complexity in the unseen geometry.
