3-D writing

Picture this:

A cartoon [by Kanin, on page 28] in the April 12, 2010, edition of the esteemed magazine The New Yorker [The New Yorker has traditionally termed them "drawings"]:

A bow-tied man (publisher? adman? businessman?) at a desk says (according to the caption) to a flummoxed-looking fellow sitting in a chair across the desk:

"Can you rewrite this in 3-D?"

Such is the challenge of writing that sings.

I say no more.
