I like that Willie is reading the daily newspaper on the 1980s prediction of an iPad (or he would be if he wasn't looking at the back of it).

Yeah, I had to pull the issue aside just to read the story. It was a nothing story about ALF coming back and meeting all the human characters in 2020 but no other funny predictions about what the future is like other than everyone has bubble houses and Jetsons-esque fashion sense...

Just a funny coincidence that I came across this book on the date that I did. I thank the pandemic isolation at home for me to have to time to sort through a lot of books that would have otherwise sat in boxes for another bunch of years. Making some serious progress!

That "bubble cabinet" behind Willie's head is the Deadpool symbol, right?

At home?  I guess I missed that pandemic press conference. 

But the guy on the news headline iPad thingy might be wearing a bright white mask with his Beats by Dre headphones.  

I think the headline under "SPORTS" and the baseball is lower case, and it says "none & none".
