Cat is inspecting the new furniture.
nothing like finishing assembling a large piece of furniture, feeling a satisfying sense of personal accomplishment and then TURNING AROUND JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK
I want to meet the Discount Furniture Gangs. I bet they drive around on motorcycles trying to sell you $300 couches via reasonable monthly installment payment plans. The $100 delivery charge is where they getcha, though.
Also the knives.

So Marty cleans up and goes downstairs where Sister Linda and Brother Dave are having breakfast!
They appeared the same facially but everything surrounding them, from their clothing to the furniture, was different.
The take-away here is that Brother Dave is LOADED and LIKES BUSINESS, and Sister Linda is slightly less slutty which I guess we’re supposed to think is better but whatever man, nothing wrong with having sexy fun with people:
Dave wore an expensive business suit and was reading Forbes magazine; sister Linda was dressed casually but elegantly as she ate what appeared to be eggs Benedict.
And I love that we’ve had an omniscient narrator throughout this story but even All-Seeing Narrator Guy can’t quiiiite figure out what she’s eating. What is that, eggs Bennie? Eggs Florentine??
“I DIDN’T KNOW THERE’D BE A TEST, NORMALLY I JUST GET THE TWO EGGS OVER EASY WITH SAUSAGE AND HOME FRIES”

The dining room is also fancier, and the table is set with “delicate linen” which you know is gotta be fancy to the mancy. Okay that was supposed to sound like “fancy to the max-y” but it didn’t quite work and wouldn’t have been that good anyway. I’m sorry. Look, this computer wasn’t built with a backspace key so let’s move on.
Anyway Marty having spent a week in the 50s is talking like a 50s guy, that or SOMEONE thinks this is how 80s teens talk to each other:
“Say, are we having company or something?” he asked.
Linda and Dave looked at him and smiled.
“Not that I know of,” Linda smiled.
And I say, is Linda meant to be smiling in this scene? Could that also be clarified somehow??
Book Marty (still slow) doesn’t get that altering the past could… alter the past and so doesn’t get that things have changed.
“Then why is everything so ritzy-looking?” Marty murmured. ”Isn’t today Saturday?”
“That’s right,” Dave replied. Marty noticed that he was reading the business section of the morning paper.
Aren’t you working this morning, Dave?”
“Sure, I always work on Saturdays.”
“At Burger King?”
Dave laughed.
“What are you, hungover or something?” he asked.
And FOR ONCE I am not the guy making typos, because that missing quotation mark on “Aren’t you working this morning, Dave?” is totally in the book! In any case, surprise surprise: the movie version is way better! There, Dave and Linda are talking about all the boys she has chasing after her and Marty interrupts them with a hilariously aggressive “Hey! What the hell is this?!” which makes Dave and Linda’s confused reactions as they look up from breakfast way funnier. It’s also tighter: Dave says “I always wear a suit to the office” which gets across the whole “better job” thing without needing a back and forth about Burger King and hangovers!
But here in the book, we’re talking about hangovers, and so Marty replies that he’s not hung over, he just doesn’t understand the fancy suit. Given that it took Book Marty hours and hours to realize that he was in 1955, I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes him pages and pages here to realize that he’s changed the world! Let’s just peek ahe— WHAT THERE’S ONLY SIX PAGES LEFT??

What's your drawing setup like in terms of furniture and computer interface arrangement? I find I get shoulder/neck muscle pains if I draw for more than a few hours at a time on a tablet, and - since I'm going to be spending a lot more time doing it next year - I'm curious about what someone who draws even MORE than me on a tablet does for ergonomics.
Ever since I switched to a Cintiq, my wrist problems have almost entirely disappeared. They do return infrequently, but they’re amazingly better now that I no longer draw hunched over a board on my lap while I sit on the couch. Instead, now I draw on the Cintiq which sits on a desk at a tall angle, and everything’s fine and my productivity’s up enough that I can do two strips. I dunno if I ever got shoulder or muscle pains. I probably should have, given how hunchy my old drawing posture was.
The Jetsons takes place in 2062, and George Jetson is 40 years old, which means that somewhere right now George Jetson is being conceived.
