Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Is the mom referring to a record player when she says "78 rpm?"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.

OMG I wouldn't have thought people today might miss that! Kinda like rotary phones i guess. Now i feel even older.

I was born in the early 80's and I still didn't really know the significance of 78 RPM. I knew that it was a turntable speed, but I had no idea whether it was slow or fast. By the time I was old enough that my dad would have let me touch the record player we were on to cassettes.

Yes, different records are intended to be played at different speeds but you can select a higher number for a slower record to play it faster

Funny how they can spend 8 panels on just dancing and still be a great comic. Always liked this one
