MARK TRAIL: Suddenly the shooting stops and Mark is still yelling for Baldy to give up. He is ridiculous, is this going to come down to his fists of iron?

I’m going to present you to my family. (Family?) Hi, Dad. [Hi, son.] Granddad! [Grandson!] Great-great-grandfather! [Before we were better.] <Brick, rotary, candlestick telephones. Wonderful, but what does the great-grandfather (bisabuelo) look like?>
GATURRO: Very imaginative: A get-together of a generation of phones! My answer to Templo’s question: A phone without self-dial, i.e. early phone’s didn’t have any sort of dial capability…when the receiver was lifted, the operator said, “Number Please.” Before that (and I have a early Philadelphia family business card to prove it) the operator just asked for the name of the business or person (as there were no phone numbers…yet). Before that…a couple tin cans & a string? Quiz: What type of phone does Mark Harmon’s “Gibbs” character carry in the NCIS TV show? (hint- it is not pictured in today’s G. strip).
PHANTOM: Love the artwork! Kudos to both author & artist! (DePaul & Manley)
MARY WORTH: The only comment that comes to mind is….watch me type….M-A-R-Y – P-O-N-T-I-F-C-A-T-E-S.
https://goo.gl/images/n8gwFs This link may, if I did it right, lead to a picture of an old wooden crank phone similar to what we had when I was a child. We did have numbers, but only 2 digits. We were sometimes on a party line. Each number would have a distinctive ring, e.g. 2 longs and a short. As I recall you could ring someone on your line without going through the operator. You could also pick up the receiver and listen in on a neighbor’s conversation.
