On his Twitter feed, Jeph said that he just hadn't had any good story ideas for her for a long time before he wrote this one.

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 11 Feb 2018, 23:21 ---It wasn't really stone tablets.   My parents had a Philco 78 rpm phonograph, steel needle and all, and a bunch of pre-vinyl shelack records.  The things were brittle as hell and would shatter with scarcely any provocation.  The first LP machine in the house was a Webcor portable with a two-sided stylus,  steel for 78s and diamond for vinyl 33s, 45s, and 16s (never have seen a 16 in the flesh to this day).

Yep,
We had an old 78 player and a nice pile of discs too which my parents 'inherited' from my grandparents.
I used to play the hell out of those old discs!

Here's one my folks had.  (If that fellow's voice sounds familiar, it's Mel "Bug Bunny and a bunch of others" Blanc.)

The collection wasn't just goofy stuff, either.  I remember a bunch of Strauss Waltzes and other classical stuff, too.  (Did they have green labels?  That was a long time ago, and they were old then.)

There are actually some groovy resources out there, including this HUGE 78 Download Archive list.
Fun to trawl through if you find yourself at a loose end... :)

I was also a big fan of minidisc in its time.

I was quite shocked yesterday to discover that the 2018 Nissan LEAF doesn't have a CD player at all. For all I know, no new cars have CD players any more. And I have hundreds of CDs...

My current car is a '99, and it'll probably be a *long* time before I have to worry about owning a car without a CD player. However, my brother's laptop has no disc drive and it drives him insane (& would me, too!).

My car is a 2017, it has a cd player.
But also has Bluetooth and usb connections

Yesterdwhat!

Emily is fine, dammit. It is perfectly possible for people to be happy and silly for no apparent reason without being in a manic phase. She isn't going to disappear and have to be searched out, sat with, and told jokes. Everything is good. Stop worrying.

heyjames4:
Have Marigold and Emily spent much time on-screen together before?
