Paleofuture+ has just added a new benefit for subscribers. Members can now read every single comic strip from Closer Than We Think, one of the most beautiful and inspirational examples of retro-futurism.

  • Closer Than We Think ran in hundreds of newspapers across the U.S. in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and gave readers a peek at the wonderful world of the future that was supposed to be ahead.

  • Created by Detroit-based commercial illustrator Arthur Radebaugh, Closer Than We Think helped inspire a generation of kids who were convinced the future would be filled with solar-powered cars, robot servants, and hotels on the moon.

  • Paleofuture+ members already get exclusive articles weekly, a new video each month, and access to a Discord chat for Paleofuture fans. But the complete collection of Closer Than We Think is really the icing on the cake.

  • The Closer Than We Think collection has never been offered in its entirety before. Subscribe to Paleofuture+ for just $5 per month of $50 per year and get exclusive access today.
