So, my son has been really digging the apes cartoon for a bunch of years now and recently asked if he could watch the live action tv series. I remembered I had the old british annual and told him I'd read him the stories before bed.
So last night I read him a story and he went through the pages noticing an image of the statue of liberty he asked "Why is the Statue of Liberty all wrecked?"
I said "Because it was destroyed"
His eyes went as wide as saucers and he asked me "Daddy, is this really our future?" I then had to spend a good twenty minutes explaining that it was make believe and quite silly.
I laughed but then I remembered cowering under my own covers when I heard on the radio that President Carter was sending troops to deal with "Gorilla fighters".
