• Better Than the Comics

  I never laugh at newspaper comics--at most they're mildly amusing--but I often get a kick out of online columns.  James Lileks writes an eclectic blog and oh, twice a week or so, has me laughing out loud.  Today he posted a couple of old whisky ads and followed up with this comment about a man featured in one of the ads:

  "That’s W. Ernest Townley, of 3162 Belvedere Boulevard, Omaha NB.  So amazing is the modern world that I find myself angry when I cannot immediately call up a street-level view of the house that belonged to a man in a 1935 liquor ad, but must content myself with the view from space:"
