This is a masterpiece of a political cartoon. In particular, the art is exceptional.

In case anybody doesn't recognize the reference, it's an absolutely classic episode of I Love Lucy.

Wonder how many people get the reference. I'm 54 and that aired before I was born.

I think anybody who grew up before streaming (and therefore got bored and watched re-runs) would get it, but people younger than that might not.

Oh! That explains so much as to how such a wide range of ages gets these old jokes! Meanwhile, my 22-yo friend across the street would have no idea what I Love Lucy was.

I'm 46, late gen x, early millenial.

This is crazy, I didn’t know this existed in color… have only seen it in b&w

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The title of the video uses the term "colorized", so I suspect that it was colorized, rather than the color being the original.

Colorizations always look off to me. I prefer the original.
