1965 comic book predicted the iPhone

Denro visited today, which is always fun, bringing with him the new mono Beatles CD set. We listened to “Sgt. Pepper’s” and realized that mono is indeed the best way to hear the Lonely Heart’s Club Band. The experience really was as if we were hearing it almost for the first time.

I always expect Dennis to bring a stack of old comic books, and he didn’t disappoint. One story in particular caught my eye. Take a look at this drawing.

Gil Kane drew this picture of a smartphone in 1965! He really nailed it in every way. Very impressive.

  1. Do I detect a certain distate by the publishers of the comic for the then-current style of music? “Yeah … Yeah … Yeah … YAK! YAK! YAK! ” 😀 Well, I guess I’m going through the same thing now. At least Molly hates Kanye West now that he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at MTV awards! Thank GOD!
