Shadowgirls

Fides getting frisky?  Who'd'a thunk it?  I hope this means she wasn't at HQ when the insanity broke out.

Wow, it feels like I was in 7th grade when Woolworth's went out of business…  (Looking it up, I was actually a senior in college.  Thinking about it now, I think we got stuff for my first dorm room there, but they closed just in time to not do that for my brother.)  I remember the lunch counter, but never ate there.

The big thing was that, between the one in the mall and the one in the local "downtown" district, my parents usually got about 2/3 of my school supplies there, and a small percentage of other stuff.  (The rest were from a mix of the local stationery store, which has also since closed, maybe one or two places I can't remember, and a Pearl Paint that was about 45 minutes away.  Staples had not opened in our area yet.)  I vaguely also remember them selling clothing and other household items.  I probably got a couple of cheap watches, the occasional candy bar, one or two cheap "110″ (10mm film) cameras, and some of my batteries and film there over the years.

I wonder, what's with that face in the last panel? The general consensus seems that it pertains to the occupants of the on-coming vehicle, but the question is, who is it? EoD? Insiders? Charon?

Or the Voltron generation, like I'm guessing Charon would have been.

Is it winding the clock back an edge too far to wonder if Charon was truly outrageous? Or am I showing my age (and potentially terrifying sexual abiguity) there

Looking at the hair, is that ol' Phil hopping out of the Truck o' Menace?

ROFL! Oh man, I almost spewed coffee when I read that. Thanks a lot! And if it makes ya feel better, I still had episodes of that show on VHS up until about 2005, when Hurricane Katrina hit, hehe. 

Oh, and just to preserve my masculinity, it should also be noted the same tape had episodes of Plastic Man, plus a couple of Marmaduke. Voltron was on a separate tape…along with Transformers. And The Last Unicorn.  It's amazing that one didn't melt from all the awesome packed onto it.

Back on point: I'm starting to get mixed feelings about Gage. I'm starting to get the feeling that, sexual deviant though he may be, there may be more decency to him than is readily apparent (one might think Charon was just a "loose woman", at first glance, after all).
