A webcomic about a grandfather's old-times lecture. Main panel: an elderly bald man with glasses, a gray beard, and suspenders sits on a couch with his hand on the shoulder of a glum-looking red-haired boy. The old man says, 'When I was your age, women wore overcoats and gloves to go out. Now you got tramps and filthy whores on every corner!' A caption below reads, 'Ugh. Another of Grampa's lectures about how hard life used to be.' Votey aftercomic: a banner reads '100 years later:' above another sketchy old bald man who says, 'When I was your age, it took several minutes to download a virtual orgy!' The joke: each generation's nostalgic 'back in my day' complaint reflects how much standards of decency and technology have shifted, with the future grandpa lamenting slow porn downloads.
