    Ja, ja, when you get older, remembering will be harder. I write a shoppinglist for not forgetting what I want to buy!!

    Actually, TV spent billions on psychologists to study exactly how to make us remember a commercial. One was to make it completely stupid, another to repeat it ad nauseam.

    One of the few dated C&H strips. Today you’d have to be over 60 to remember a cigarette jingle.

    “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.”

    “Taste me, taste me, come on and taste me.”

    “Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?”

    I understand, dad.

    What is tragic is remembering what you did 5 minutes ago, but not remembering what was going on 20 years ago. My children tell me they did activities with me that I don’t remember. Now I wish I had kept a journal and taken more pictures.

    This is technically referred to as a “Problem with the Hereafter”. Walk in to a room and can’t remember what you’re here after.

    MAD magazine had an article in the late sixties (“Inventions We’d Like to See”, I think it was) of mostly Rube Goldberg-like devices for things like an unwieldy device for picking up dog poo from sidewalks before you stepped in it and the like; but one was actually useful, and consisted of instructions on how to cut into the speak wires on your TV set and install a wire with a toggle switch on the end to turn the sound off and on and was labeled as a “Commercial Killer”.I don’t remember too many of the commercial jingles after that.

    My short term memory is so bad that if I ever get Alzheimer’s, nobody would notice.

    I can remember on the Flintstones, the waitress’ song when Fred and Barney opened a drive in diner, the commercial that Ann Marie had to have dubbed for her on That Girl, and most of Gilligan’s Island musical adaptation of Hamlet (to the tunes from the opera Carmen). It’s been decades, but I remember. Also, a parody we sang as kids:

    Winston tastes bad,Like the one I just had.No Filter, no flavor,Just used toilet paper.

    Absolute classic Calvin and Hobbes today- this is one of Watterson’s very best!

    Maybe the strip should be called Calvin, Hobbes and Calvin’s Dad though…

    This comic was originally published in 1994. Were cigarette ads with jingles still running in 1969?

    For those who are older, this is a good strip, knowing how we feel, and, let’s face it, more realistic than most of them, although we all love them all!

    Philosophy doesn’t answer questions. It justraises more…. And most of them are unanswer-able anyway.
