I seem to be on an early 1960s kick this week. First, I saw the Spiderman movie, which was better than I expected, and I enjoyed the anachronistic 50s-era cars, houses, and clothing styles. But, as a friend pointed out, the first issue of Spiderman came out in August 1962, so it wasn't really 50s era.

Then, I was entranced by this collection of Motorola advertisements from the early 1960s, reminding me that the Jetsons dated from nearly the same time as Spiderman; starting in September 1962. Check out those beehive hairdos! And so much curvy glass.

Dr. Who came along a bit later, in November 1963, but it fits my general theme. I've had the very first episodes recommended to me to watch, but I'll wait until after I've caught up with the last season.

Maybe I should conclude by watching Thirteen Days.

I suppose that's why the rooms are so big, to dwarf the hulking and boxy Motorola stuff..
