   Impressive. The words Roland spoke in the strip are exactly 139 characters (letters, punctuations, and spaces) – 140 if there is a space at the end of “called”.

    Good work! You have saved all of the “shut-ins” reading this strip countless hours.

    Panel #3:

    “YOU’RE O-
    VER 140
    CHARAC-
    TERS. IN-
    TERVIEW’S
    DONE.”

    You’d use fewer characters if you skipped the hyphens…

    To paraphrase a line from Space Ghost:

    “Roland Hedley, your 15 minutes of Lame are up!”

    There is an elipsis after “called.” That means there is a space after the word and also a space between the 1st and 2nd dot and one between the 2nd and 3rd dot.

    That means there are 6 spaces after “called.”

    Joe Allen Doty said, 14 days ago

    So, adding 6 to 139 equals 145 characters and spaces.

    The notion that Charlie Rose would switch to Twitter mode for interviews in particularly ironic.

    I wonder how Zonker’s tulip is coming along.

    The idea that you would put a space in between a word and the following ellipses as well as in between the ellipses themselves is… idiotic.

    Wow, these “other old pals” better watch their collective asses!

    Ushindi said, 14 days ago

    There is NO space between a word and the ellipsis following, nor any space between the periods creating the ellipsis…

    Hm, 15 minutes divided by 140 characters comes to 6.43 seconds of fame per character.

    @Susan001, I assume it’s fast asleep, if it’s in the same season as I am, which is late autumn. Building up its strength for next spring, you know?

    Major BURN!!!

    Joe Allen Doty said, 14 days ago

    Some of you folks know nothing about properly placing spaces before and in an elipsis between the periods.

    You need to consult an English Composition Handbook.

    Now lets see, where did I leave my English Composition Handbook for DUMMIES?

    Ya know?

    In “Elements of Typographic Style”, Bringhurst writes that a full space between each dot is “another Victorian eccentricity”.
