    No printer required.

    Is this the first “dark and stormy night”?

    We are currently living on laptops, tablets and other mobile device. Snoopy had it rough back in the days!

    Thank goodness for laptops. Lightweight and easy to delete and edit. Just needs that USP thing to connect to a desktop in order to print.

    Suddenly a shot rang out.
    A door slammed.
    A maid screamed.
    Suddenly a pirate ship appeared on the horizon.

    That’s pretty much the generally accepted way to begin. I was always partial to “I don’t know how I got myself into this.”

    Cult strip! May I compare this arc as the Mozart 40th symphony of the Comics?

    I am sure even with modern technologies nowadays, it is still “dark and stormy night” for Snoopy. This is cult.

    According to Wikipedia, the first dark and stormy Peanuts was July 12, 1965. So yes.

    As a translator, I do value the ability to edit without having to retype a whole page (or chapter) for one or two mistakes. But nothing will replace the clack of the typewriter, and the “ping” of the end of the line, for those of us who grew up with them. And nobody ever got repetitive motion stress from a traditional typewriter. That keyboard was stepped for a reason.

    Yes, I started on a typewriter. Though I think wordprocessing (when I got it in 1984) was a godsend. BTW, when I give fiction writing tips, the first thing I say is don’t start your story with ‘It was a dark and stormy night.’ My point being a writer’s view point should not be passive, disengaged third person, and cliche`. But I brought a copy of this comic to our writing group years ago for a good laugh.

    Today one doesn’t even need a cable… USP or USB… WiFi is far more versatile.

    Except the above cartoon is dated, even using American format, 9th July.

    Why couldn’t it be a calm sunny day?
