A three-panel comic by Tom Gauld titled “Søren Kierkegaard, 1843” shows a man in a top hat walking with a cat. In the first panel, the man says, "Life can only," followed by the second panel, "be understood backwards," and the cat adds, "but it." In the third panel, the man continues, "must be," and the cat finishes, "lived forwards." The comic has a sunset background and minimalist style. Text at the bottom reads: “From ‘Physics for Cats’ by Tom Gauld — preorder it at www.tomgauld.com.”

I pity the fool (self-pity).

The image humorously combines pop culture references by featuring Bill Murray as his iconic *Caddyshack* character, Carl Spackler, dressed in an oversized light gray suit reminiscent of David Byrne’s outfit from the *Talking Heads* music video "Once in a Lifetime." The background is a solid blue, mirroring the minimalist aesthetic of the video. At the bottom, bold white text with a black outline reads: "You May Find Yourself Living in a Maintenance Shack," cleverly blending Byrne’s famous lyrics with Murray’s groundskeeper persona from *Caddyshack*. This mashup playfully merges two distinct cultural icons into a single humorous image.

Throwback to the early days of computing! This retro setup (my office space in 1985) features a vintage IBM-AT, its monitor, keyboard, some floppy disks, and a classic Coke can to fuel the innovation. The binder on top is probably the MS BASIC manual, my only true glimpse and verified programming documentation. A glimpse into the analog past of the digital revolution. 🖥️💾 #RetroTech #VintageComputers #TechHistory

In the 2-3 years I worked at this computer station, that AM radio played every Top 40 song from the 1980s.

"Three-panel meme featuring an airplane: 1. Top panel: A stationary airplane labeled 'My email is well written, reviewed, and ready to be sent,' symbolizing a carefully prepared email. 2. Middle panel: The airplane taking off, labeled 'My email is sent,' representing the email being successfully sent. 3. Bottom panel: A set of airplane stairs crowded with people labeled 'Attached file,' humorously illustrating the forgotten attachment as an afterthought."

Had I heard about it, I might have searched for "rascuachismo." 🤔

Today I Learned about rasquachismo. I foresee learning more about it over the holidays. The excerpt(s) you shared filled in the blanks to a couple of assumptions I had about Starr Co.

I wonder how the page design would have looked like today?
