You mean that’s not the Tardis??

Somebody sent me this as a “Geezer” strip, and I wrote back no, even kids today know what a phone booth is, even if they’ve never used one. Then three or four other people sent me the same comic.

So was I wrong? Would a younger reader look at this and have no idea what’s being referred to?

Nor really synchronicity, of course, but several people pointed out that we got a double dose of awful Pearls Before Swine puns yesterday

Those Who Cannot Remember the Pastis…

pastis.gif

Obviously a reference to former attorney Stephan Pastis, who draws the Pearls Before Swine strip; but is there an actual gag here, or just a gratuitous shout-out?

Brads Before Swine

Rhys: I work in publishing, and I have no idea what a “brad” is. I’ve also consulted two dictionaries and google. Please tell me I’m not the only clueless one!
 
If he’d written “Brads” rather than “brads,” I’d have guessed he meant the author could recycle the character’s name so the manuscript wouldn’t be a complete loss. Since he did not, I’m as stumped as Rhys (while also, in fact, working in publishing) -Bill

Is PBS in reruns this week? Because the hedgehog-throwing incident took place in February of 2008, and I can’t believe it took Pastis more than a year to come up with this gag.
