AgentFriday (talk | contribs) The mention of 2D ASCII plots really did not belong in the Etymology section... Made best guess and moved it directly under Examples. |

Line 13:
The plot takes its name from the [[Shmoo]], a fictional species created by [[Al Capp]] in the cartoon [[Li'l Abner]]. These small, blob-like creatures have shapes similar to the "working" volumes that would be enclosed by shmoo plots drawn against three independent variables (such as voltage, temperature, and response speed).
Automated test equipment have traditionally generated a 2-dimensional form of the shmoo plot in [[ASCII]], that uses an "X" to represent functional points and blank space for non-functional points.▼
