Title: Realforce UB and The Wizard of Id
Post by: aref on Mon, 28 April 2014, 18:09:23
Saw this  photo (top), I looked down at my Realforce 87UB, and thought, man, this is spot on.

Really miss the caricatures and characterizations on life that were unique to Johnny Hart
as a lone writer and he and and Brant Parker as a team (Wizard of Id). They brought the
subconscious to light and characterized the absurdities in life. It's nearly 40 years after
Hart's passing; and Parker passed seven years ago. Gentlemen, your works still have juice!
Rest in peace.

Top Photo Top: Brant Parker and the great Johnny Hart, the creators of the Wizard of Id, got it right.
Bottom Photo: And I had to toss in one of Johnny Hart's greatest BC covers: Dip in Road!

Let's face it, neon golf balls are better.

What's wrong with black golf balls?

There's no such thing.

Why not?

Innocent question, plus I don't play golf.

It's for visibility.
You won't be able to easily see a black ball if you play in rainy conditions.

Yep.
Pretty heavy rain too sometimes.
I forgot to say, it's not just for rainy conditions or foggy days. White is just easier to see.

Black on green is clearly unacceptable and common sense defying but black on black is the closest you can come to getting topre's blanks because you can't buy topre keycaps anymore ... sniff sniff
