BTW, some friends have told me they thought Sparky Schulz’s “Violet” was making a guest appearance here. Frankly, I can’t wait for the Peanuts character “5” (1963-83) to show up as a guest. He’d fit right in, as his entire existence was making fun of numerical-only phone numbers…
Said it before – An appropriate guest shot from another strip could be “5” from Peanuts. Fits the bill about getting caught up in “modernity.”
