re: #193 HappyWarrior

I have this great idea for a comic sketch where a person obsessed with the idea of going back to the “good old days” somehow develops a time machine and does in fact go there and they encounter a person of a similar age who just can’t wait to get out of that time and that person takes the time machine and goes ot the present and has a blast while the person romanticizing the past gets a fatal illness or something like that. I admit it would be dark humor but I think it would be a fun way of showing how silly people are to romanticize the past.

Years ago, I read a short story where a guy makes a deal with Satan to send him back in time so that he can play the stock market or invest in railroads and automobiles but as soon as he steps into the past he gets an infection and realizes there is no antibiotics.
