Adult Children by Stephen Beals for January 17, 2025

So don’t read too much into it..

soooo would you sell tablets or Kindle with that for people to read the books?

Apparently, the user interface is too difficult for some people.

Ah yes! Stephen King the Nostradamus of the 21st century. From cars and pets to pandemics and politicians. He really is a Genre in his own right. Should have known he’d be Tabby’s favorite. I remember when we used to read books. The printed word it’s all we had then. A time when you had to choose your words carefully.

I remember we had two bookstores in the local Mall. Then we only had one. Now we have no Mall.

While I have a kindle, I’m still a big, huge fan of the actual printed word. I’m actually reading one book and have two others waiting to be read. I also have three more in my Amazon cart!

From a race to raise all people up through education for the masses during the age of enlightenment resulting in landing humans on the moon to a race to dumb down education for the masses creating a nation whereby nearly half of America is fundamentally illiterate and anti-education who wanted a career criminal and convicted felon/adjudicated rapist to be their President. Look how far we have come. It’s a wonder any bookstores still exist today. It is also no wonder at all that tech companies want to bring in H-1b immigrants from countries with much higher education standards than we have to work for them.

What I really love about this particular comic is that there are three separate dialog streams to wade through, each on a completely different track. This is fast becoming my favorite strip!!

I love to read actual books, trying to read on a Kindle hurts my eyes. I do listen to audio books when I go to bed.

The strip is definitely a good read!

Wait! Amazon has been struggling lately?

Carl Hiaasen is another great and prolific author, with Tom Robbins as another of my go-tos.

India Holton!

Not the big picture?! But I love Big Picture Books!

I read my first King book last year. It was a crime story—serial killer— not horror. He turned out to be a decent writer.

Looking forward to where this takes us. I don’t live near that last mega chain now. We have an independent, I should visit more often.
