C.G.87
Bulbous
It is a cliche that suddenly doctors and police officers start to look young to you, and that’s the first sign that you are aging. But for many of us it happens when some kid picks up a stash of treasured 45’s and asks “what are these for?” Or they find the phone that you had back in 2001, and they laugh, and then seriously, bewilderedly, ask how it took pictures. They are charmed by the road atlas that you used to store under the passenger seat when they were babies, because it is a ripped about, battered book, and none of them really remember a time before Google maps .
Next it will be the lightbulbs, the ones that look like this. They were left behind by the halogens the LEDs and the CFLs, trust me, they are gathering dust on the shelves of only the loneliest dollar stores. But I ask you, without a lovely bulbous old light bulb how will we know when people in comic strips get a brilliant idea?
