If it wasn’t so tragic a situation, it’d be funny how so many people switched to going with the “recruitment pressure” as a way to find a job. We’d find out just how many Eden Prairie people get swept up in such- wait, where’s Rick and what has he done to the hardware store advertising?
Can’t wait for Katy’s history class to cover World War II and watch her ask when Charlie Chaplin got into politics.
Sometime ignorance is NOT the best policy…
Mole204: Rick has been written out of this new continuity.
The whole “war in Iraq” aside,, I think the most nostalgic thing about this is Joel writing his essay with a pencil on paper.

Katy in that last panel was exactly how I reacted back when the second Gulf War started. Mind you I was around 11 or 12 at the time that got started.
@Red Rain No character development for her apparently.
Reading this makes me a little sad considering what would eventually turn into a mini World War III in the years following 2001.
Katy, learn to stay updated on current events. Being Oblivious is not good in the long run.
