Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 31, 2014
Transcript:
Zeke: Glad you got here so fast, Zonk. There's a lot of stuff to sort through before the will reading! Zonker: Who's coming to the reading, Brenner? Zeke: A pretty heavy crowd, man. A gang of creditors, a couple of IRS guys, and a U.S. Marshal. Zonker: A U.S. Marshal? Zeke: Not to worry, man. I checked it out, and most of Duke's estate is inadmissable. Zonker: Imagine my relief. Zeke: All we gotta do is get the serial numbers off.

OK, I’ll bite“What’s that thing with the keyboard?”…I mean it doesn’t look like an IBM Selectric nor any Smith Corona I’ve used. :-)

Note Zeke’s arm over Zonker’s shoulder in the first frame. The classic manipulative gesture of bringing someone into a questionable situation. All all of a sudden its “we.”

I was thrilled to be rescued from the typewriter. When I look back, it just bugs to think of what I went through all those years… of course, students today are given even higher expectations due to the fact that a lot of difficult crap from the olden days has been overcome by the technology of today. I could not have imagined a program that would automatically format a bibliography, etc. Wow. And no more liquid paper? Fantastic!

The web knows all and never lies.
“Hunter S. Thompson liked to abuse his red IBM Selectric by taking it out into the snow and shooting at it. It outlived him, though "“ after he shot himself, his body was found sitting at his typewriter with the single word "counselor" typed on the page in front of him. "
