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.
