Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for March 28, 2016

In a world of diamonds, I had to bond with someone who made a glass of themselves.

So she’s having a buckyball.

emptc12: simple ethane molecule would do it.

Sadly, I am that old, and then some. I remember gas wars where the price could get down to under $0.20 per gallon, and dad’s Lucky Strikes were a dime a pack. If you filled up your tank, you’d get dishes AND either Scotch Stamps or S&H Green Stamps. Our family dinnerware basically came from gas stations. Dad said why buy them when you got them from the station for free?

Obviously they have good chemistry.

The new “Cosmos” had a whole episode about that. You have to wonder what other industrial chemicals added to the environment and even food will eventually be found as harmful to huge groups of people.

I remember just enough high school chemistry to understand the joke. But not enough to laugh.
