I feel like the lighting on the pizza rolls is a bit off myself, but maybe it’s me.

There’s also a weird brown blur toward the bottom of the container.

Especially during this time period, it would likely mean multiple things before genitalia.

“Dick” was a pretty common word for a detective, as in “hiring a private dick.” These comics are probably chock full of humorous uses of “dick.”

For this one specifically, the first place tineye sees it on the internet is on a “forgotten cool” tumblr in 2015, which also doesn’t cite where it came from.

I have a habit of looking at archive.org’s recently uploaded magazines because it is always cool to look at periodicals from a different time.

Even things that seem unrelated to my interests at all end up being a riveting window into something unfamiliar!

This was funny because I went back to see if the review I just read was Sticky Mustache, and it was actually pruwyben!

This is a great topic! I have more than one kinda odd hobby.

I got a bunch of old newspaper comic strips of Mary Worth from 1947 and 1951 (almost two full years’ worth) that I’m putting into ~3”x12” poly bags so I can read them more easily. I need to put them into a book of some sort.

I also got some color Sunday strips from 1951 but they’re a crazy size so I may need to put those in a separate book.

I think they’re so cool though! The strips have ads on the back from the time period.

Oh, that’s just a risky proposition, that’s all!

I would wager most people don’t know themselves well enough on psychedelics to trust watching weird shit with someone who is also on psychedelics.

I saw the poor kid’s hair in the thumbnail and was like “oh no.”

There are a LOT of brown squirrels in the Midwest.

I’d make sure to cut my hair AND wear a hat if I was going squirrel hunting and had hair like that.

Yes, thank you! I knew I read somewhere that she really liked it. We had that book when I was a kid and I read through it.

I really appreciate this, you just saved me at least $20.

Microsoft’s user experience is awful at every step in a browser. I wanted to like XBox but it’s clear why they’re losing.

I think you’re actually right in what you mean though.

“Gaffe” implies he’s embarrassed. There’s no way he’s embarrassed, he’s incapable of feeling real human emotions.
