When I was about the same age, visiting my grandmother’s house, I obsessed over 70s-era Doonesbury strips that sat yellowing on the shelves in what had been my uncle’s bedroom. I was trying so hard to get the jokes, and as I got older some of them would unfold for me. Thanks for remind me about it.
