The January 18 , 1969 Montreal Gazette ran this most peculiar comic , wedge full of hilarious expositional duologue and dystopian delights .
We follow the futuristic misadventure of George Daedalus , also recognise as Daeda 928 502 467 , in the year 2000 advertizing . George lives in Oshtoham , Canada ’s second largest city — which I ’m guessing is a combination of the city Oshawa , Toronto and Markham — and work as a travel broker . George lives his life sentence surrounded by technological wonders like automaton retainer , videophones , move sidewalks and 3D hologram wall , but we come to observe out that he ’s really just not that happy . The last panel shows George taking drugs and using a computer to escape his realness . Boy am I glad I do n’t survive in that future ! *
