Today’s kids have the attitudes exhibited on the third cartoon up from the bottom. I guess things never change. They only get worse or somehow repackaged.
Very funny batch of scouting cartoons here. In the 3rd grade I was in the Cub Scouts, but never had any adventures like these. My mom was a ‘den mother’ where our ‘go to’ places were Shakey’s pizza parlor and Farrell’s ice cream parlor and the bowling alley. One time to P.O.P. (Pacific Ocean Park) in Santa Monica before it closed down. What a $#– show THAT whole city is now, my God!
These were places that were fun for the boys, and let the mothers have some fun hang time too. In that economy, none of the mothers had to work outside the home. Sooo unreal now, it’s like it never happened at all.
So the top toon (’63) is my favorite here. The visual and caption really had me laughing. Same with the bottom one also. The idea that this kid is responsible for what happened to the old woman is both horrifying and hysterical at the same time. Stop looking at it; nothing to see here. I do wonder though just how many feet she fell down!
