GoComics is delighted to re-introduce "Skippy." The legendary comic created by Percy Crosby debuted in 1923 and ran in newspapers until 1945.
Hailed by critics, fellow cartoonists and readers as a "classic," it's easy to see how "Skippy" inspired comics like "Peanuts" and "Calvin and Hobbes." We hope you enjoy this glimpse back in time with one of the most-beloved characters of the mid-20th Century.

Skippy voluntarily brushing his teeth? Oh yeah, something’s definitely up, Dad!

The same thing happened when television came along. The trick when turning it on was to not let it get so loud as to wake up the parents.
The evolution reference is interesting. This was during the Scopes trial.

Old tube radio with speaker horn, when AM was king. Great stuff.

The radio may have had a volume control separate from the on-off switch, and when it warmed up, the sound came blasting out of the speaker.

Or simply “the evolution of technology.” We don’t have enough context to define it.
