“Make sure to drink your Ovaltine!”

I came up with a simple keyboard code — unless it’s more common than I thought. Instead of the home keys (asdf jkl;) shift your fingers one key to the right. Then touch-type your message (hopefully without any typos). To decode, shift your fingers one key to the left of the home keys and touch-type exactly what you read. Not so good though, if you need special characters or numbers.

I wonder if the NSA has cracked the decoder ring yet?

Fashion designers used to use full-figured women of the Jane Mansfield type, but the men (who did the actual purchasing back then) were paying too much attention to the models and not enough to the clothes, so they figured they’d put skinny models up there so everyone would look at the clothes. Goofy public then thought the standard of beauty had changed, so they changed the ideal to emaciated.

It’s crazy how often these 15 year old strips keep lining up with current events…

Ng yrnfg, ebg13 gung FBO.

That one is too easy for Jason, give it to Ralphie (from a Christmas Story) and he’ll find out it’s a crummy commercial!

Ah, the classic decoder ring.

Wait, CSS isn’t a code like that
