The creators of this strip should be commended for their frequent references to the past including personalities, issues and artists. Not unlike Tom Stoppard who throws in references to classic literature in his plays. It is refreshing. My 29-year son hadn’t a clue just as he did not know how to dial a rotary phone.
Wiley is calling down the ghost of Barry Goldwater, in case of you were unaware. Lucy’s statement is a paraphrases from Goldwater’s acceptance speach in 1964 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. If you didn’t know that you lost the whole meaning to today’s strip.
When Mr. Miller goes off on one of his political tracks, he loses me, but when he comes up with a gem like this, it is a reminder why I fell in love with his humor and why he may someday be destined for the comics hall of fame.
Wiley, i am an avid fan as others here are, this is a repeat with a different profession. Last time you used an attorney.
