Okay, every one out there who played bass in bands in the late 70s AND did not find out what a “rubber” was until their FRESHMAN year in college, raise your hands… Okay, just me, but it’s the truth.  In short, my Mom was an ER nurse and she called things by their proper terms… including condems.  When I got the story of the “birds and the bees” I got medical diagrams and the works.  Totally grossed me out at age 13.  Yet, this same Mother brought me home the used Playboys from her hospital in 1967 so I could see what they were all about.  Of course  I didn’t know the term beat-off except for in muciscal terms…

Today’s comic title is from Seasame Street and Ernie’s SMASH number ONE hit by the same name.  Imagine hearing “Mississippi Queen” followed by “Rubber Ducky” on the same AM radio station.  Yes, it was the 70s for sure.  But it was cookie monster who was the Street’s resident stoner or else why was he always hungry for those cookies.
