That’s our Mike, a very neutral (beige) kind of guy.

I’m loving the last frame! Too true that as we remember what we think are important times, the eyes of those who didn’t share them glaze over…

Ain’t that the truth!

One has to be of a certain age appreciate any kind of history.

B.D. has a feminine side? Does it consist of watching lesbian porn?

Zonk going for PhD, Pile it High and Deep!

It’s great being flashbacks in a retro replaying of classic past strips!

When we listen to someone’s history it is precisely that – his story. Our past is filtered through the opaque glass of memory – often rose colored.

Hated bellbottems, never wore them. In fact, I had the flared cuffs taken out from the pants of a suit before I would buy it, much to the horror of the store’s tailor. I did like and wear paisley shirts.

Bellbottoms are not a good look for short legged people. I never wore them. Cher, on the other hand, looked fabulous in them!

Part of the reason for boring is understanding that the historian is skewing the viewpoint.Another is not knowing how life could’ve been before it changed.Yet another is that current battles are more important than ones already settled.

Like panel 2 ever happened!

I loved and weared bell-bottom in the early 70s , but nowadays they seems to me an archaeologic find
