This comic is set in the 1960’s. Broken glass on the sidewalks was actually more of a problem back then, because it was before the days of plastic bottles. Sodas came in glass bottles, and bad people did throw them out of cars. That’s when they started making the PSA commercials with the crying Indian. Cans also had tear off pull rings that had very sharp edges,and people threw those down too. I remember cutting my foot open on one when I was 4, in 1969.
Yes, there was broken bottles back in the ’60s but there was also no “pooper scooper” laws…so you really had to watch where you steeped while walking Rover!
