In 1983, my family visited India. While in Calcutta, we stayed with my fathers’ side of the family.
During that summer, there was a very popular promotion running by drink manufacturer Gold Spot (an orange drink, similar to Orange Crush, here in the states). Underneath every Gold Spot bottle cap was an image from the Jungle Book. The goal was to collect all the special caps and stick them on a sheet.
The reward, a special-sized Jungle Book comic. Getting all the bottle caps meant that my cousins and I would drink Gold Spot at every opportunity, or convince family and friends to do so. Our goal, of course, was to collect as many caps as we could.
Over the course of a month, we resourcefully amassed over 3 sheets worth of caps, for three complete copies of the Jungle Book comic. I still have mine, shown below:
This book was a nice trip down memory lane. Maybe other folks from India remember this promotion too?

I’m in Knoxville, TN. I spent a few hours this afternoon in my “old” room. This room is where my stuff is, but I don’t really consider it to be my room, because my parents moved to a new house after I left for college.
Anyhoo…
While rummaging through a few of my old boxes, I found a few old high school yearbooks…
My 20 year high school reunion is next year. I feel old, just by typing that.
More photos (and memories to come).

Today’s comic comes a little late, but just in time for the holidays. If you want to torment me further, you can do so – simply purchase my book, PC Weenies: Rebootus Maximus!
Wishing a safe and happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers!

My snow suit also had a hole in my pocket, and I lost two of my favorite Matchbox cars before realizing it. But that’s another story…

Here’s a teaser for tomorrow’s comic – actually it’s the entire comic without words. Let’s see if you can figure out what’s happening.

Here’s a pic I took while I was chatting with Aarti on webcam. You can see a tuckered out Sonia in her crib.
