These are really great!!

About a million years ago I was one of those kids at the boat pond. We really are living in a different age these days.

Just for the record, if you read this on your phone, it’s near impossible to see what those cartoons are because you put them all into one image, meaning you can’t just click on one cartoon and then enlarge it so you can actually see the details. Might not want to do it that way. Perhaps better to stack them for the mobile interface?

I love this guy’s cartoons in general, but this is the absolute best one yet. He should submit it to the New Yorker.
