In 2013, the game of chess was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, along with the rubber duck. In honor of the annual induction, cartoonist Leigh Rubin, creator of the "Rubes" cartoon, drew a special cartoon in honor of each of the inductees. For chess, he pointed out the perils of playing chess if one happens to be a tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur. Short arms and small brains might make it difficult!
