I know some people have been enjoying the occasional old comic, so I figure I'll sprinkle them in every so often.

100 years later, eating microwaved slop in front of the tv while scrolling Lemmy on our phones, and nobody bats an eye.

Yeah I can see that.
Many people have no screens allowed rules at meal time, I think that reflects the sentiment in the comic.

I'm interested in how this takes place in one room with a curtain divider, which I think was more common when home sizes were much smaller.

Now that you mention it, I guess I've only seen this in very old homes. Interesting how that hasn't caught on again with so many adults living in apartments and stuff nowadays.

In small apartments curtains are definitely a cheap way to divide space, or make a single small space more adaptable or modular. I knew plenty of young adults in tiny NYC apartments that used curtains to "wall off" a sleeping area in a studio apartment, or create a make-shift workspace. Heck, I did that during lockdowns to have a work space. Although I did discover the downside of curtains, they do little to dampen sound and (to a lesser extent) smells.

I'd guess in homes old enough to not have central heat you'd curtain off the rooms you want to keep warm and avoid having to heat the whole house.
