Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 27, 2022

It even has comics!

you also don’t have to click through a thousand pages to finish a story

The Endurance is definitely cool stuff.

I wonder if the cartoonists still read actual newspapers? It seems most people read the news online nowadays. At least, I do.

And they just found the wreck of a U.S. destroyer sunk by the Japanese battleship Yamato in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

And of course the Titanic!

Zoe seems less excited about an actual news story. The finding of the Endurance was very interesting to me.

What is this “newspaper” of which you speak?

“Back in the day” I used to read a morning AND evening newspaper. Now I read the weekly Epoch Times and otherwise read news on line. Sign of the times. I mail the Kids Page and comics and puzzles from the ET to my 10-year-old granddaughter so she will at least get a taste of a “paper” newspaper. She seems to enjoy it.

I gave up the newspaper when they went to six days a week, only twelve pages and comics in black and white and shrunk to fit on one page instead of two.

Stopped getting our local newspaper a long time ago. News was usually old, events mentioned were passed and the price kept going up. Now they only mail it and with the extra slow mail (thank you Mr Dejoy), the news is even older and the events further past, and the cost even higher.

Schrödinger’s Newspaper—it doesn’t happen until you read it in the newspaper.

It’s magical when a kid discovers the cool stuff you can find in the news. ;-) It’s not always on the front page; sometimes you have to dig for the cool stuff.

What makes You think that?

The NY TIMEs is a real newspaper.

NEW Y ORK DAILY NEWS is only 48 pages no matter what’s happening in t he world,including the end of it

NEW YORK POST—fish are insulted to be wrapped in it..

Point for Zoe.

In case anybody is interested, this is the actual event. (The sinking was on November 21, 1915.) “The search for famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance, which sank in 1915, is finally over. On March 9, 2022, the Endurance22 expedition team announced the wreck had been found in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica. The 106-year-old vessel lies at a depth of about 10,000 feet.”

No and yes…..

That is cool! So much history could be learned from the ship.

I like newspapers. No clickbait, recyclable, and no comments section where people argue about politics and religion.

GIVE ME PAPER?

Those little tidbits to fill space are often more interesting to most than the latest war or shortage or scandal even though those may affect more people.

(also known as click bait online)

I had to look that up because for a class this year we had to read and study a book on the survivors of the expedition lead by Ernest Shakleton. All crew survived because of his brilliant leadership. My favorite quote from the book though was from a sailors journal where he was musing about the future it was funny he knew things would have to be wireless, but also thought everyone would want to visit the arctic so that we would have devolved daily trips to it. One more aside I think it was an ealier misson by Shackleton a pony and sled was lost in a ice crevice (before the realized there are reasons the Inuit use dogs) I wonder if the pony was preserved too.

I miss our daily paper.

Zoe scores.

Haha! XD

There’s definite nostalgia when I pick up a physical newspaper!
