Illustratrations for the book "Cosmicomics" by Italo Calvino.
Story 1.
The Distance of the Moon, the first and probably the best known story. Calvino takes the fact that the Moon used to be much closer to the Earth, and builds a story about a love triangle among people who used to jump between the Earth and the Moon, in which lovers drift apart as the Moon recedes.
Story 2.
All at One Point, the fact that all matter and creation used to exist in a single point. "Naturally, we were all there—old Qfwfq said—where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?"
Story 3.
Games Without End, a galactic game of marbles back before the universe had formed much more than particles.
