42 year old here. I can recall sitting in a KFC for hours on end in the late 90s as a teen, waiting for a jamaican named Elvis to deliver weed to me.

You’d arrange a time, I’d show up on time. He’d show up 6 hours later.

And you smoked in your parents basement in the dark. Why the dark? Because if your mom opened the door, it gave you an often crucial extra 5 seconds to hide your bong before she turned the lights on.

Even now, as an adult who lives alone, smoking with the lights on feels WRONG!

I bet these Gen-Z guys aren’t even going to grow up with traumatic paranoia everytime they smoke!!!

I really want this rug. Is it real? Can I buy one?

Well…maybe he just thinks “beefing” means shoving their beef stick intothe others man hole.

If he thinks thats what beefing is, I could see why he thinks it’s gay.

I mean, he’s wrong either way, but that would explain where his viewpoint is.

In the 1990s, ellen degeneres had a hit sitcom on ABC. Then she came out as gay. Pepsi, among other advertisers threatened to pull all advertising from ABC.

So ABC cancelled a show with decent ratings purely because she was gay.

Now, today we know that ellen is a piece of shit for OTHER reasons, but that wasn’t known in 1996. This was a move based purely on Pepsi and others not wanting to be assosiated with a gay person on their tv.

Now for the kicker. Ellen had some support, but it was not a majority. The majority of people at that time celebrated ellen getting removed from tv.

If that happened today? A beloved tv star being removed from tv because they were gay? I think it would have even bigger backlash than CBS is facing right now over Colbert, and 60 Minutes. Back then? America gave the thumbs up.

Ironically enough, I think being bi would have been MORE accepted in the 1880s.

Corpus Christi is a town…not a day.

Ok…but what made things different? I’m confused on the context.

Also, I’m sure bisexuality would have been considered obscene in the 80s, but today it’s so natural that I don’t think anyone would be offended that he was bi.

I’ve seen people in society. Pretty sure that happened like 15 years ago.

My body feels like I’m the one that a house fell on, as teenagers steal my shoes.

Maybe this is why I have no guy friends. I’d always ask how they were, and they would bust out in song, singing the Animaniacs song of countries.

I don’t get it. What’s going on in the last panel?

I mean…when kids say “I’m running away from home”, now they have options.

Unclear if unironic.

Google map services hate this one offline trick!

What if I have big tiddys AND a beard/penis?

I wish I were a slut…

Just gonna leave this right here…for no reason

I think 10 year old me was the coolest! That was clearly my peak.

42 year old me now wonders why I can’t wear boxer shorts, and drain chains as a necklace, with a yin yang charm on a bracelet anymore, while drinking a capri sun.

3. Maybe even 2. I’d have to see it in person.

I feel like you just said the same thing I did, but with more specifics.
