Seeing these shoes makes me sad because it brings to mind the demise of Laika, the first Soviet space dog.

When I was a kid I encountered an issue of Eerie Magazine, with a story of a space dog having achieved intelligence… returning for revenge on the scientist who sent her up!

In tie final panel, beep, Beep, BEEP!

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying.

While I find all self-promotion unseemly, I feel I must mention that there is a Laika design as well, if you’re really committed to being sad.

Thanks - it was about 5 years ago, no idea where it is now, but the Gagarin stuff got claimed by my Graphic Design tutor. He still owes me for them…

The very best thing about those flashes was the smell.
It may be the very best thing ever.

There are many dozens of Laika video commemoratives… but this one seems to be the most… “energetic”

The ‘shoe site’ also sells Laika Shower Curtains.
