After over 70 years with boxers I have certainly had my share of slobber but now that they are all gone I kinda miss it. Although I certainly see your point Miss Susan.
Then again, I’m not sure many envision private passenger cars still around in another 3500 years, thinking we’ll have opted for mass transit or some sort of teleportation.
But human nature is stubborn.
We like the journey, along with the destination, and cling to our free will, and our privacy. If we can do away with their emissions, pollution, and environmental destruction, some form of them may remain, whether privately owned or shared.
The cars of 2023 are closer to those of 1923 than futurists of that era predicted.
The invisible improvements are incredible. Emissions reduced by over 90%, inside multizone climate control, constant computer monitoring of all systems, smooth movement, outside sound reduction, no, this is not your father’s Oldsmobile.
Found in about 29% of student apartments ca. 1965-72.
Slightly fewer than that Renoir of the little girl that was in 36%, and neither as popular as the Muchas poster of the Art Nouveau lady that made it into 47%.
Disclaimer: these figures are only estimates based on my personal observation.
Of course, in some percentage of cases, a different Renoir or Mucha was substituted, but these two were certainly ubiquitous, along with the black cat.
Today’s Songs:
‘Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job,’ ‘Gimme Some Lovin’ ,’ ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun,’ and ‘Glad All Over,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Apple Pork Tournedos.’
Cyndi Lauper is now 70 years old, married since 1991 and the mother of a now 24 year old son who is, sadly, ‘known to the police’ (he is a ‘rapper’ by profession / all of whom should have their mouths wrapped in duct tape and told to ‘shut up’).
I’m unfamiliar with a lot of music everybody else seems to remember… but that was one of the first really popular videos I can recall.
My older niece was about 9 and obsessed with it.
She dressed as Cyndi Lauper for Halloween that year.
What her mother didn’t know was that after she left the house with her older brother to trick or treat she stuffed about half a box of Kleenex into her dress “to look more like Cyndi.”
BTW that’s her real mother in the video, but not her dad.

NOSE!

Whoever believes that can have my share.

Maybe it’s that nice kitty cat coming to visit.

Only a scratch post.
Not me, though!

the future, as seen from the nineteen-fifties
No flying cars?
They appear to be hovering, so perhaps they can fly too.
It might be safer to have them following paths on the ground than bashing into each other willy-nilly in the air.
It would certain take less reliance on a complicated system of air control.
Or…. maybe we wuz robbed.
Nope! They promised us real flying cars. Up in the air and everything!
So we was robbed!
Of course, it doesn’t say how far in the future.
Maybe it’s supposed to be 2368!

Think this image hangs on the wall of Elon’s office?

Those worked so well. There was also a teeny tube version in Cracker Jack.
Look through the holes and see shadowy, overlapping double images… convince your little sister she’s seeing her finger bones in the shadows.
Cos cardboard is a major component of a medical device.

The little guy looks lonely; as if he wants someone to play ball with him.
I like his work.
The little robot’s?
The artist. 🙂
I’ve seen his stuff before.
Here.
😁
Can I adopt him?

You should see my Dudley. In the dark you can’t!
Same with my Kiki.

Funny you should say that, my college girlfriend at the time had that poster!
I had the Renoir even before college, and a bit later the Mucha…
But several friends had this one.
My brother’s girlfriend, future sister-in-law, had it in a frame with glass, and it went with them from house to house for years.
I meant to post these, but I forgot.
Of course, in some percentage of cases, a different Renoir or Mucha was substituted, but these two were certainly ubiquitous, along with the black cat.
NOSE!
Refugee from a movie set? From another galaxy?
Mexican Día de los Muertos maybe?
That’s my presumption.

Never saw the Cyndi Lauper video, that was fun.

It featured Captain Lou Albano.
Yes, that’s him as the dad.
Get a haircut… Never heard it before. What a fun song!
As I’ve said, you always have an old favorite on your list. Today’s is the Spencer Davis Group.
Last thing i look at before bed.
It puts me right to sleep.
Sometimes, I confess, I have the hardest time figuring out what you’re referring back to.
Like… um… now. Sorry!
The comic at the top of the page? 😀
Oh! You mean reading Cleo in general!
Sorry!
I was looking for something you meant that was IN today’s strip, and I didn’t see anything soporific.
I should have known cos I fell asleep (again) just last night, trying to post here, and never did comment on the strip.
And the later i get here, the more vague i become. 😀

ML?
Trzy nosy! (Yes; really.)
Nie kradnij jej pracy!
It sounded too nice to resist.
thank you!
i’m here!
3 NOSES???
I like the nosy better.
Call me weird, but the one on the right immediately brought Michael Dorn as Worf to my mind.
is this a hint of coming attractions?
oh..not necessarily… I always liked ‘Perro’, so…..
So do we!
And the newbies haven’t seen any of the serials.
Do you like barbershop?

We’re just listening to the recording of their last concert outside for this year – Botanical Garden Munich; my husband was there. Spectacular.
