My sister and I used to get my Dad’s X-Mas presents from Sears at one of the 5 or 6 big malls in Tampa in the ‘late ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. We usually found out what type of Craftsman or Kenmore product he needed and went and got it. I never thought I would see the day when the nationwide big box department stores like Sears, Penney’s and Macys as well as regional ones (here in the South: Belk, Maison Blanche, Dillards, Maas Brothers etc…) would be just about extinct. The shopping mall killed shopping in many of our downtowns in the ’60s and ’70s and now the internet/on-line shopping has done the same to the big indoor malls with a big assist by Covid-19…..
Faster Than Light Warp Drive! Darn, I missed those when they were on sale! Can I at least get a 29th century Mobile Emitter (transporter) instead? Or are they already sold out?

The Sears in my city closed four years ago. Where do I get my faster-than-light warp drives now?

Oh! Are we about to start the story arc of playing “Star Trek” on Cutter John’s wheelchair? My favorite!

For all you younger ladies out there, this strip is fair warning: Guys don’t really ever grow up. . . . . We have a lot of fun though.
