Back in the 90s my dad bought a huge clipart set, it came with a dictionary-sized book of printed thumbnails and about 20 CDs. Even back then I remember scrolling through it all and thinking wow this stuff looks like shit.
EDIT: Omg I found it on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234661793657
It’s one of those things that will pop into my mind every once in a while, only to be forgotten for months after. Same as ol Clippy
I worked at a video rental store in high school. Sometimes I was tasked with making signs for stuff, and would use the computer in the store, and a clip art program chocked FULL of clip art. I had so much fun digging through all the options, and putting together stuff that was MUCH more in-depth then needed, but it was fun! It makes me nostalgic, but I can understand why it went away as suddenly as it did.
This made me think about how much I miss the video store!
There was something really special about going out as a family and browsing all the cover art. Copies of Star Wars were always rented out at ours. Memories of renting a Godzilla movie you’d never seen, begging your dad for candy and popcorn on the way to the checkout counter. Good times. I miss them. 🥲
