Oh man tickets. I’m not old enough to have experienced the rides having tickets at Disneyland but my dad reminisces about it when we go! And they have a booklet of tickets in a display case for posterity in a building on Main Street
I have faint childhood memories of the tickets. Mainly of the stack of leftover As Bs and Cs once all the E tickets in a book were used up. (It really wasn’t the most efficient arrangement.)
So that means I was ten when they finally phased them out. Sounds about right. I actually seem to recall we ended up using lots of the “A” tickets as well, because those covered most of the kiddie rides. 🙂
This is madness! THIS! IS! BUSINESS!!!!
Who do they think they are? An airline? A cable company? Them and their hidden fees!

I don’t know if it was for dramatic effect or an art error, but Nick in the last panel without the whites of his eyes is rather creepy. :-}
(Oh, I checked other panels, it’s been done before. Still, odder in this panel for some reason! )

We’ve reached the end of the tram,
We’re only half there!
The pricing scheme is a scam,
It just isn’t fair!
You need two tickets, two rides!
You need two tickets, two ri-i-ides …
You need two tickets, two rides,
It’s twice the fare!
I’m so glad to see you back, Eddurd.
I posted this a bit late yesterday. In case anyone missed it, check out Shaenon’s interview here. Scroll down a bit to see it:

Thanks, Kroykali!
Jeffrey’s interview is planned for tomorrow.
One does not simply walk through Whimsyland . . .
Strictly speaking, it’s an aerial tramway…a tram is a streetcar.
To whom is she complaining, eyes cast upwards?
Madblood.
The All-Ride Happy Pass with Top Of The Line entry! Costs almost double, but totally worth it.
I like the concept of a Magi Mountain, it sounds like something from “Fun Land” – Craggy Island’s carnival.
“That’s a big heap of priests there Ted.”
And where’s the sign that says, “You must be exactly one inch taller than Nick to go on this ride”?
