Me, too. I loved coming home to my own house with my own mom in it. By the time I had my own late arrival, I was self-employed in a home office, so she got to come home to her mom, too. But our lives are much costlier now. Who knew, in the 1950s, that we would all need so much larger wardrobes, so many more cars per family, computers and other electronics that last only a few years, hundreds of toys per child, huge wall-mounted televisions, and so on? IMO, fewer playthings and more in-home moms and/or dads would make for a healthier way of life.

I was 15 in 1970. I’m not sure I want to be reminded of those days.

I love the throw back quality of this comic. I wasn’t alive when it first ran but it’s like a snapshot into the times.

The good ole days when kids ACTUALLY listened to parents out of respect. But then again…my curfew was 11 pm that turned into 1 am!!
