Mister Miller [OT]

tip

This brings back memories of Mister Miller who, in 1967 would tip me a dime for delivering coffee to his office (my father owned a Chock Full o’ Nuts restaurant), and place it in my palm just like this, as if he were Rockefeller rewarding me with a small fortune. He didn’t say “Don’t spend it all in one place,” but he might as well have.

Even in 1967 this was a pitiful tip, and carrying a bag full of coffee cups three blocks certainly took more than a minute.

Fifty-three years later I still remember you, you cheap SOB.

Six people have sent this to me so far, which I’m pretty sure is a record. So…

  1. The consensus seems to be it’s a reference to CIDU. Is it?
  2. If so, is it pro or con?
  3. If pro, thanks.
  4. If con, I think the Weingartens are missing the point, since collectively this is one of the least-clueless groups I’ve seen online.
  5. (If con, did somebody here say something unkind about this strip three weeks ago?)
  6. Even if con, it’s cool.
  7. No #7 really: it’s just that six bullet points might give the impression these were responses to the six people who sent me the comic.
