MARG! Iguess you won’t get an extra hour of sleeptonight. I just discovered that your state doesn’tobserve daylight Savings Time. I never knew thatuntil now.
Margueritem: You’re lucky, I don’t get the newest edition of GoComics until 1:15 AM Eastern Standard Time and then, even though I wait up until then, I have to return to GoComics early in the morning to see all the comments. Today my computer wasn’t working and I couldn’t like on until 10 PM Eastern D. Time and had to read TOO many comments, especially daunting were the comments in Doonesbury, as interesting as they were.
Personally, I believe texting is a temporary thing – technology will come up with something new that make it obsolete. And somewhere along the line, some techy is going to say, “wouldn’t it be great if we could create a way to make it seem like we’re actually with each other?” And then, who knows, they’ll invent talking face to face.
Nerwin will be happy when the next peice of “Borg technology” comes along—communication devices surgically implanted in people’s ears! Just press your lobe and talk. I always think people are talking to themselves anyway.
Today’s current One Big Happy has a similar theme, when Dad suddenly remembers it’s possible to actually TALK on a cell phone! (I wonder how long till they drop the speaker and microphone, since so many are never used any more.)
In DC Comics, there’s an evil intelligence called The Construct who was created by our society’s electronic clutter, and who wants to wipe out the human race. Does it seem like his plan is already underway?

I think that there is more than a grain of truth in this.

In the future, will humans have larger, more flexible thumbs but only vestigial tongues? I hope not!

With the power out in New England, all we can do is sit and TALK!

You should have gone with the copper-topped battery, Nerwin.
Somehow I think Jeremy (Zits) would respond the same way. Kids!

“Don’t tell my friends!”
Since Broomie doesn’t text, and the friends do nothing BUT, how could they ever find out?

In case any trivia nuts want to know, there are 45 “taps” in today’s strip.

Would you say Broomie was tapped out? Or is it Nerwin?

When I first saw it, I thought Broomie was tap-dancing! She looked liked she was really enjoying it.
