I heard that Long Lines was downsizing Soldier On Line from a step-brother-in-law back in the summer of '98 a week or two before it happened. It gets even more fun as they were hiring down and I was the first out of the door. Then I got lots of insult to injury as my phone and internet service quickly went to pot…

No Runza, King Kong, or Braums? ;)

Another reminder that I need to revive Sci Fi guy! my webcomic about a fan in the '70s.

I'm trying to track down the Lincoln "Modern Art that moves you " ads from circa 1980.

I'd get a new Studebaker....

The late '30s Studebaker Coupe Express.

No Zed? No Studebaker Stellomatic 1327si? No Belle of Brass? No Tau Ceti Style Standard Austerity Heavy Freight Saucer?

Don't worry, Zed wouldn't rate a pixel.... ;3

GM brass taking the sway bars and limiting straps out of the original Corvair suspension. 
They  cheapened the head design which killed performance. 

Damn! I need to get back to my neglected webcomic.

Holy Moley!

Now that's a weird flashback for me! In my '80s Small Press Comic "Captain Saucer", a race of weird aliens called the Weird Aliens had giant plywood shaped spaceships.

So is there a zeitgeist building of geekdom getting nostalgic for where it was in the late '70s with this and Super8?

DS9 in the first episode. I liked and could relate much more to the darker vision with the hardship tour in an obscure place. It was much better than Trek Lite with those space yuppies spreading political correctness thoughout the galaxy.

What was the Robot Planet pitch like?
