Yup, and he's a hero to free market libertarians, a manifestation of Atlas Shrugged's John Galt.

They're worse than Apple fanboys lol. Elon the great industrialist! Let's ignore the fact that Tesla needed government help to survive.

B.C. was prehistoric. They had a computer game, "B.C.'s Quest for Tires"

Wow. I hope it ends on a high note. I always enjoyed the teenage angst of Funky.
For Better or For Worse was another comic where the characters aged. But you're right - it's extremely rare.

Oh I loved those scenes when one of the parents interrupted and Hobbes was illustrated as a stuffed tiger. Brilliant stuff, and I respect Watterson for never merchandising his wonderful characters.

Not sure, but I'm guessing very few people get the Sunday Star Ledger anymore.

For Better For Worse - I liked the idea of the characters aging as you followed them over the years.

Andy Capp was a raging alcoholic. And Dagwood Bumstead ate those huge sandwiches and never gained weight. Must have had a tape worm.

And at least a couple times a year the Sunday Family Circus was Billy (or whatever his name was) walking that dashed line all over the house.

From JFK take the Airtrain to Jamaica/Sutfin
At Jamaica/Sutfin, catch the NYC Subway (MTA) E Train to NY Penn Station
At NY Penn Station, you can take a NJ Transit train to NJ (Newark Penn Station)
If your destination is farther south, i.e., Camden as others suggested, you may need to take Amtrak.
There is a good NJ Transit app with schedules. Firsr train in the AM is around 4:30AM.
If you need to stay overnight in Manhattan, look for a hostel. There's also a microhotel on 42nd St
