I hope this hasn't already been posted anywhere else, but did anyone else notice the little '68 World's Fair reference in Friday's (Jan 29) Beetle Bailey comic? Hopefully this link wil lead you to it:

Suppose I could have posted this in Festival of Laughing Gas, but...

I missed that. I wonder if the cartoonist just chose a date at random or was actually referring to HemisFair '68?

[Glen Schultzberg]

I was wondering that myself. If it was at random then they certainly got lucky. If it was on purpose, they must have been fans of Hemisfair or lived in Texas in the 60s. Otherwise you'd think they'd go with something more well known as far as 60s fairs are concerned--'62, '64-'65, or '67.

And I obviously MEANT to title this thread "Beetle Bailey Hemisfair Reference", not "Beetle Bailey Hemisphere Reference". Guess I was typing faster than I was thinking. Oh well...

I fixed it for you.
For the first post of a topic, if you go back to it and choose "edit", but then look for another button called "Use Full Editor", it will give you the option to revise the topic's title and subtitle. The only people who can do this are the original poster who started the topic, or an administrator.

Mort Walker lived in the Connecticut - NY area in the early 60s - I wonder if he meant the NY World's fair but got the year wrong.

Thank you Randy. I thought there was some way to fix (edit) a title, but couldn't for the life of me figure it out at that moment. Hopefully I'll remember for the next time I make a mistake!
