Remember the '70's?

Today I go back in time to the 1970's. It seems like yesterday to me, until I think how many times I've put up a Christmas tree since then. Anyway, my first cartoon is about President Gerald Ford.

The next Frank & Ernest cartoon is actually from 1993, but it fits with today's story so I am including it with my other 1970's cartons:

One other thing that everyone had as a fashion accessory in 1976 was the "mood ring" (excuse the flood mud on several of today's comics)


I loved each and every day of 1976. It was America's Bicentennial year, and it was like celebrating the 4th of July for 365 days!


I think will end each post with a comic that just makes me laugh. Today - a Peanuts cartoon from 1999:

How do you cut your sandwiches? I cut mine on the diagonal like Marcie...
