“What it gave me was thoughts for food.”
You’re right. It’s getting to be supper time. Seeing that this cartoon is about science and math I’ll have to have remainders instead of leftovers.

Down in a lower corner of one page is a small illustration of of a Chinese man who eats with sticks. Originally called the Chinaman, he had been colored yellow, with a pigtail. Dr. Seuss himself updated the drawing in the late 70s, but some folks still felt that was an old-school stereotype.

The last independent bookstore around here closed several years ago. They carried a wide range of reading material from the latest best sellers to old used books, and could order almost anything that was in print. Sadly, as the owner was nearing the end of her life, nobody else wanted to take over the business.

A few years ago mom handed down some pre-war Marx tin wind-up trains. Although she had two older brothers, she was the one who had played with the trains with Grandpa. When cleaning out the house after Grandma died, Mom and Dad rescued these, and some Lionel trains (in their original boxes). Those same older brothers had put them in the garbage.
