The last three books where the kid that time took

however had asked for fish knives and forks.

Well this one was pretty recent, but I think I remember comics better
than many people for some reason. Of course the trouble is finding the
comic you remember. Google is pretty good for xkcd, and dilbert.com
used to be amazing. Other than that, I have to try image search and
hope for the best.

Of course if you clearly recall a daily comic from some time in the 70s,
abandon all hope of finding it online..
