Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

So, soon after the release of Judy Malloy's its name is Penelope in a vinyl folio, it was re-released the same year in this cardboard version.
Besides the difference in the material substance of their packaging, the two folios also relay information about the story differently. The 1993 Vinyl Edition only hints to the identity of Penelope, while the 1993 Cardboard Edition suggests the name refers to the sailboat. Moreover, the typeface of the latter harkens to ancient Greek lettering and, so, signals the connection of this narrative to that of Homer's Odyssey where a character "named" Penelope also figures prominently.
