   Earl and Opal obviously are not in the South. “Fetch” is used pretty commonly here, and not just for dogs. The bigger problem is Earl is just sitting and Opal working with her hands full. Make the joke about that instead of the word “fetch.”

   I thought this strip was supposed to be set in the 1960s. I was a kid in the 60s, and there was no sunblock. Lifeguards smeared their noses with zinc oxide, but suntan lotion or oil did nothing to prevent sunburn. The earliest sunscreens I know of had PABA and came out around the mid to late 70s. My father-in-law, a redhead, had some his dermatologist prescribed.

   Isn’t this strip supposed to be set in the 1960s? I was a kid in the 60s, and the only sunblock anyone used was zinc oxide that lifeguards smeared on their noses. We had suntan lotion or oil, but it didn’t prevent sunburn.

   I thought this was supposed to be set in the 1960s. I don’t remember any leaf blowers back then. Everybody used rakes.

   This is an anachronism. People didn’t “homeschool” their kids in the 60s!

   http://fborfw.com/strip_fix/See this page for Lynn’s comments on her strips. She’s been doing this ever since she started rerunning the strips. She occasionally redraws or rewrites them. Some days have no comments—today’s strip doesn’t—but you can go back to the beginning of this story line and read the real background story.

   Well, back in MY day, we had to walk ten miles to school in snow 5 feet deep, uphill both ways! Sheesh! Gimme a break.

   No one was talking about “planet-killing asteroids” in the sixties, when this strip is supposed to take place. No one had even dreamed that an asteroid could have wiped out the dinosaurs back then.

    She forgot Miami Heat basketball star Shane Battier.
