Please remember that the 70’s were the Cocaine Decade, when people like Robin Williams were high on coke 24/7 and it likely came straight out of the studio budget.

Society was changing, a lot. The Sexual Revolution, Women’s Liberation, all sorts of serious changes began in the late 60’s and continued, often to excess, through the 70’s as people figured out how to behave in a completely different world.

D’Anconia may or may not be an asshole, I don’t know. But honestly, he’s right to say no-one gives a shit which phone people are using, so would it kill Cartooniverse to change his tapatalk settings to remove that footer. It’s almost as pointless as “Regards, Shodan”.

He’s using a Samsung Note 4. Although I’m an iPhone user, I had a Samsung Galaxy at one time just to check out the Android OS.

So, yeah. I care about what phone people are using. It’s just another glimpse into the person behind the post, Bwian.

Out of curiosity kawacker, are you so interested as to care about being reminded about every single post he makes? It doesn’t annoy me but it does place him in the ticish posting group with the likes of “Regards …” and “Let’s throw …”
