The Good Ole Days

I know, I'm too young to be longing gazing back at days gone by. At least I think I am too young. But as the artwork shows there is one thing that modern man can no longer create with skill. The mighty eraser.

Today's erasers smear, smudge, gob, stain, they pretty much do anything but erase. Don't even think about that cute pencil with the panda bears on it. That green eraser on the end, it's just waiting to ruin your paper with a swath of green that won't come off no matter what you do. Working on a crossword puzzle, BEWARE! Today's erasers will not only smear your page so the clue number is unreadable but it will instantly tear through the tender newsprint.

Am I the only one who has noted this crisis in eraserdom? Are we without erasers because of rain forest damage or did someone in Eraser World find a cheaper (lousy) way to make them?
Now it's true, I have many perfect, purchased separately erasers for sketching. But what ever happened to that happy little partner on the end of your pencil. Standing at attention ready for service when ever the pencil turned.

Sigh....the good ole days. Thank heavens my computer has a delete key.
