Rosh HaShana (1978)

Today's Golden Oldie is from 1978.

Thirty "New Years"s later and we still have no idea what surprises are in store for us.

One thing has changed in these thirty years. Back then everybody in Israel smoked. Everybody. And so I regularly drew characters with cigarettes dangling from, and dancing on, their lips as they spoke.

Now it turns out that big time Hollywood actors were paid to appear in films and in public smoking cigarettes!

Who knew?!

Mobile Phones (1998)

Today's Golden Oldie is a Dry Bones cartoon from 10 years ago this month. March 22, 1998. I wondered back then about when would we realize the danger, and when would folks start suing the mobile phone companies. * * * Well, 10 years have passed and we're all still happily pressing these little microwave generators to the sides of our heads and zapping our own brains. Me too. * * * For some other cartoons I've done on the topic just click on mobile phones.

...and tell me, in panel one of the cartoon, does Mr. Shuldig look cool with a cig hanging from his lips and sexy bedroom eyes?
