Would it be harder to get Kirby dots or glitter out of a shag carpet?

I am still finding paper confetti in things like guitars and LPs from New Years parties my parents threw starting in 1971.

At least Latrobe was spared, so we could enjoy delicious locally-brewed Rolling Rock (until Inbev ruined it)

Parallax error was something I trained to compensate for in news photography class, a million years ago, when some still used non-SLR cameras.

I loved the HtD movie when I was a kid, so one day I went to the comic shop looking for back issues. I found those two Star Wars parody issues, and the one where Howard suffers concussion-induced hallucinations after fleeing to Canada after his aborted presidential campaign.

They were very confusing to me at 9 years old.

I note a trend.

(full disclosure: I paid $5.50 American to see Leah Thompson and a duck at a theater when it came out)

So I went and checked this out and after enjoying the first book I discovered the most amazing pages



There's some quality writing in there

This was a fabulous read! Thank you!

Truly some creative writing. That must have taken a great deal of effort to do so well.

If you steal them from the past they're not antiques, merely contemporary items made in an antique style. It's the passage of time that makes them antique. Better off burying them somewhere and dig them up in the present.

This reminds of the Twilight Zone episode "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville." In 1963, a rich old gently caress makes a deal with the devil to go back in time to 1910 and buy oil-producing acreage for cheap, only to face the dawning realization that the required extraction technology won't exist until 1937.

from what I remember of history we did in no particular order: 1066 and William The Conqueror, Henry VIII and the Tudor/Stuart period, a bit on the Renaissance, the War Of The Roses, maybe The Peasants Revolt, a lot on the Industrial revolution, some on WW1 & the English Civil War. Bear in mind, I'm trying to recall history lessons I did 30+ years ago, but those were the ones I remember and there wasn't a lot on WW2

US expat, in UK-curriculum schools from 3rd grade (1970) to 9th (1977)

Concur on the above, although we also had the various invasions by the Angles & Romans thrown in as well.

Spent at least a week on the War Of The Roses. Read everything Rosemary Sutcliffe wrote (highly recommend her historical quasi-fiction)

Had no US history until 10th grade. Knew nothing about the Civil War except that there was one; my US History teacher looked at me like I had lobsters growing out of my forehead. I in turn thought "Antietam" had to be a typo.

I'll say this: after several years of UK history I had a complete understanding of why the Founding Fathers were determined to separate church & state.

To be fair, Ben Franklin probably hosed anything that stood still long enough. He was very discreet about it, though.

We had several issues of this and a related comic called, I think, Megalith. They were all very gross and bloody and I probably should not have been reading them at 6.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else reference their existence.

In second grade a classmate, John Anderson, brought in some of his older brother’s “cool” comics.

They were William F Gaines pre-code horror pieces, probably Creepy or Eerie.

I remember the place, time and the classmate because holy poo poo they were full of anatomically accurate rotted, animated corpses and gore as graphic as anything I have ever seen ever, in my 61-years and they nearly made me physically ill right then & there. How I didn’t hurl remains a mystery.
