Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 28, 2015
Transcript:
Dad: "When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the big old department store downtown, and I used to love riding the escalators" Dad: "The escalators there had wood stairs. And they used to click, clack and creak. The wood slats on each step were maybe half an inch apart, and I always wondered if ladies got their high heels stuck and got pulled under" Dad: "Some of those escalators were very narrow-just wide enough for one person. Yep, those old escalators had a lot more personality than these slick metal ones" Calvin: "I'd hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point"
Pointless stories are one of the few pleasures of fatherhood.-Macy’s Herald Square still has some old wooden escalators.
