    When I was little, my mother may or may not have worked for a company that used to put together those bulk packets of stamps that were once advertised in comic books (and may still be now, for all I know), and to have slipped me a couple every so often.

    I mostly remember the chocolate beetles she’d sometimes buy me on the way home, though.

    One of the things i enjoy about your strip is that despite being roughly the same age, you have cultural references that are ‘ordinary’ to you that ive never seen. Thanks for the reminder of life beyond my bubble.

    Love your landscape in panel one! Plus, the Black Hills is the most beautiful place we’ve ever been to . .

    Tiny bits of paper that have witnessed large parts of history. And somebody’s DNA. The ramifications of which sounds like a possible episode of a Trek series.

    Hope you didn’t miss the “Auto Museum” in Murdo, SD, or the Corn Palace in Mitchell! Being musicians, we also enjoyed the Shrine to Music in Vermillion.

    My late first cousin once removed (e.g., my father’s first cousin) visited the Black Hills fifty years ago and brought me back a tie pin that was made from three different types of gold! I still have it.

    Have you dug Wall Drug? I got a baby blue cowboy hat there in 1974 on our way to the Rockies.

    Amanda, it would be like looking in a mirror…you have the same hair as Counselor Troi :-) As for the stamps, not much different than the ex buying way to many baseball cards just to sort through them for the ones he wants. Still does it to this day.

    Dan seems perfectly normal to me!

    Of course, I have been known to buy jars full of assorted buttons (not that big of a jar, though), and I enjoy sorting through them. Back when I was young – when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth! – a young lady was encouraged to collect her own buttons, fabric, and cook ware for the day when she would marry and start her own household. The rural South in the ‘60s/’70s was not exactly progressive. Boys were encouraged to collect knives, camping gear, and STAMPS!

    My wife thinks I’m nuts because I collect RWBY action figures.
