Hey Geriatrics! Condors!

Nicole: El Condor Pasa is one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs, but would many people under the age of forty recognize it? Rick is definitely showing his age in this Soup to Nutz

Super Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Apr 17th 2009

These two were side-by-side on my Houston Chronicle comics page Thursday. The Speed Bump

is a CIDU, while the Argyle Sweater

is a LOL.

And if that wasn’t enough spandex for one day…

Has anybody actually heard the Captain America cartoon theme since 1968 or so? The Spider-Man theme has found a permanent place in the popular consciousness, but I don’t believe anybody under the age of 45 will be familiar with Cap’s. Normally this would get the Look Geezers! Comics! tag, but Marvel Comics is promoting the hell out of Captain America’s 70th anniversary this week, so I’m inclined to grant it special dispensation as a tribute strip.

Mystery Man

Daniel Vawser: I get the joke in today’s Soup to Nutz. Stromoski often puts classic cartoon characters in the background pictures, which “magically” change from frame to frame. (Can actually happen nowadays with an electronic frame… but I digress)The guy in the 2nd panel is Moon Mullins. 3rd panel is Alley Oop. But who’s the character in the 1st panel picture?
