Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for March 26, 2014

Kids these days wouldn’t even know what a rotary dial telephone is (I remember finding a YouTube like that).

Depending where you live and hang up your laundry – the smell of fresh air laundry is not all it pretends to be.

I’m still waiting for my “Flying Car” or “Personal Jet-pack”. So y’all need to hurry up with that thinkin’ thing.

Carmen has some huge feet.

For that I have no clue Nora.

One of the Family Circus kids once suggested attaching the phone to the wall so it wouldn’t get lost.

A remarkably “Green” concept that’s good for the environment and the pocketbook. Too bad so many home-owners associations (HOA’s) are more concerned with the appreance of their neighbors back yards than economic concerns, environmental impact issues, and oh yeah personal rights.

This one hits a big sore spot for me.

I remember a Reader’s Digest test maybe 10 years ago. It would show a picture, and depending on what you called it, it gave you your age. For instance, is it :a) Iceboxb)Refrigeratorc)Fridge

It was a pretty accurate test, it got everyone I knew within a couple of years.

This comic made me realize how many of my childhood memories involve laundry: my mother kneeling on the floor doing laundry in a galvanized steel tub, later in a bathtub, later still with a wringer washing machine. Then hanging the clothes on a cotton-rope clothesline held up in the middle by a clothesline pole with wooden clothespins and a hanging bag to hold them. But that was after the clothesline out the back window of a second-floor apartment, the line running back and forth on a pulley attached to the opposite building. BTW, to give you some idea of how far back this all is, my father just died four days short of 100.
