This is ART.

Thank you, Mr. Watterson. The world would LOVE more of this if you're ever inclined.

I love that this mixes two different styles of drawing in one comic. Waterson is such a great artist!

I’ve got eight slugs in me. One’s lead and the rest are bourbon.

Ahh the days when the typewriter was more common then the PC

Cosmos7349,

I was thinking “I mean tbh it’s not THAT long ago…” and then I realized that yes it was, and that now I’m old. Dammit…

espentan,

My mom was a freelance translator of books etc. in the late 70s/ 80s, working from home… I can still hear the sound of her typewriter so vividly in my mind…

Yeah, we’re old…

Unforeseen, in 13 February 1987

Is the mom referring to a record player when she says “78 rpm?”

iturnedintoanewt,

OMG I wouldn’t have thought people today might miss that! Kinda like rotary phones i guess. Now i feel even older.

Vorticity,

I was born in the early 80’s and I still didn’t really know the significance of 78 RPM. I knew that it was a turntable speed, but I had no idea whether it was slow or fast. By the time I was old enough that my dad would have let me touch the record player we were on to cassettes.

Feathercrown,

Yes, different records are intended to be played at different speeds but you can select a higher number for a slower record to play it faster

Cort,

Yes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.

Zekas,

So they nightcored Bach?

Moreover, “It’s Miller Time” was a major ad campaign of theirs back in the day.

CluckN,

Moreover, “Time” is the indefinite continued progress of existence.

Windex007,

Moreover, although Calvin and Hobbes ran from '85 through '95, Calvin did not age, implying the universe in which he exists was moving away from ours at relativistic velocity.

Everythingispenguins,

Did you include red shifting in that calculation?
