What that history is, I don't know. I thought I might free-associate a little here, just to see what other explanations I could come up with. I've tried this before and what I came up with was woefully inadequate, but maybe I'll do better this time. Here goes.......

WHERE DID THE 60S COME FROM?
"What led to the 60's?" you ask. Good question. Well, there's Vietnam, the pill, drugs, civil rights...you name it. These are the standard explanations, and they're all important, but we all know there's gotta be more than that. You don't go from Ozzie and Harriet to bare-breasted at Woodstock in just a few years unless you have a lot of history pushing at your back.

Maybe after the miniskirt there was no turning back. No matter how destructive the new sensibility might turn out to be, a return to the society that covered up legs was unthinkable.

MORE OBSERVATIONS ABOUT WOMEN (RE-WRITTEN)
WARNING: Nothing obscene here, but this post is not office or school safe.
Most modern women will eventually develop a pear shape, like Rembrandt's wife in the drawing above.
In the era of the dinosaurs (above), most young women ran around naked. That's okay. I'm sure nobody complained. In those days, even middle-aged women were probably pretty slim and athletic. |
Not so for modern city women (above). They tend to put on weight pretty early in life. So do modern men, but this post isn't about them. |

THE LAST "MAN" CARTOONIST
I'm toying with the idea of doing a Sunday Comics page. Maybe something every other Sunday. I don't have any ideas, and I'm not sure that I know how to color and ink in Photoshop, so I might have to use crayons. Let me think about it. Whatever it is will probably look horrible, but I feel a responsibility to at least make an effort...I mean, being the last man cartoonist and all.

A WEEKEND WITH WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST
Hearst's many guests stayed in opulent rooms. He saw to it that they had every convenience. |
He himself stayed in quarters which were more modest; more intimate and cozy. This (left) is his bedroom but the photograph doesn't do it justice.

WALLY WOOD REVEALS THE FUTURE!
He foresaw that young men would live in spotlessly clean, high tech apartments in the tropical jungle. No bugs or mud, just friendly, beautiful neighbors. |
Wood also knew that beautiful girls will have no need to take rocket ships to other worlds. Every strange, loathsome beast in the galaxy will sooner or later come to them. |
Last of all, Wood knew that tail fin cars would make a comeback, and that the future would be full of them. How did he know!? It's uncanny! |
