Luann Againn by Greg Evans for March 09, 2025

And if you didn’t have the record you would dial up the DJ.Dial?

c’mon, Luann. I know for a fact that you were in junior high in the 1980s.

You’re only pretending to not know what these things are.

I guess hi-fi was replaced by wi-fi…. LOL

Luann can have the same conversation with her future kids about CDs… but wait…. does she remember them or is she now a “streamer”?

Still a nice chanson, “Michelle, my belle”. I even understood the lyrics way back when and still do.

Hi-Fi? Is that anything like WiFi?

Panel 1: Nancy’s got either Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken for whatever recipe she’s making from “The Campbell’s Soup Cookbook”..

There is a video on YouTube with a grandma (a baby boomer) who has a rotary phone like we all had back in the 70’s. She shows it to her teenage grandson and asks him how to place a call. He hasn’t got a clue. I was laughing so hard at his confusion.

And coming up next, Frank explains what an 8-Track is. ;-)

Luann, please don’t play dumb.

And a tabletop FM radio?

Sometimes the B side is better. B side?

My uncle had Rubber Soul an 8 track. I foolishly loaned it to someone and never saw it again

Great last panel — LOLOL

and now vinyl has a come back

I’m old enough, by a little, to remember when a “record album” was something with a hinged cardboard cover and multiple paper sleeves inside, each holding a single vinyl (or, earlier, shellac) disc with one song or short instrumental piece on each side, so that the whole thing somewhat resembled a photograph album (for folks who remember what those were). Later, when a collection of ten or more songs could fit on a single “long-playing” vinyl disc, or a single tape cassette, or a single compact disc, people still called it an “album”, even though the packaging was no longer book-like (for folks who remember books).
