Well, judging from the rest of the strips, I’d say his stories about everything are boring.
When I was in high school, nobody had walked on the moon yet, let alone 12 people, and 1984 was still the distant future, let alone the year 2001.
But now my telling young people this is like my father telling me about hand-cranking a Model-T Ford: unimaginably ancient history.
Don’t worry, kid; with any luck, you too can tell someone young what the world was like way back in the 20-oughts.
I tell my students I was born BC - before calculators and before computers.
