Cartoon of the Day: Hippie Sunglasses

 

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass' "Hippie Night." Some of what people wore back then was more than a little "far out," including some people's sunglasses. While lenses that change color when the light chaged weren't quite developed yet, if they had, one certain style back then might get some people wondering.
