Forgot to add…

FW has “time-warped” forward at least twice (that I know of).

Maybe this is a time-warp back to better days.

Other than the obvious, I’m guessing it’s a time-travel plot.

June 26 - “I’m not getting any bars.” Pre-cell phone era.
June 27 - “…no time like the present.” Time reference.
June 28 - “…serious pruning in the town square.” Town square as it was years ago.
July 1 - Montoni’s closed on July 4th as it was years ago.

Speaking of FW, what the heck is going on in that story currently? Medium Large had a parody/homage strip last week that hinted he died in that auto accident, but doesn’t quite realize it and hence is wandering around town as a ghost not understanding why everything is closed.

Why is that kid so nonchalant about having skin cancer? This isn’t Funky Winkerbean.

I roared with laughter at the parody of that scene with Avery Schreiber in “Galaxina”.

With classic material, age doesn’t matter. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” is seventy years old, after all.

I remember seeing other references to it lately. I think it was while I was going through Something*Positive’s archives.

Funny, just the other day in one of the RPGs I’m playing in, I made a reference to that scene…weird….

It’s an unforgettable image from that movie. That and Sigourney Weaver in her underwear.
