As once a graphic designer at a non-profit for people with MS I did the news letters and brochures for special events.
Because some people with MS have vision problems, I could not go below a set type size. Sometimes I was hard to design using “large” small type for so much info – frustrating!
-I love the tiny typewriter, too!

He’s going to end up cross-eyed forever – but he looks good that way!

The visual “noise” is very appropriate.
The little arms/ big body reminds me of Seinfeld’s Newman. Or bloated bureaucracy.
Is there a reason the desk is shaped like an M? A private joke? (I’m not touching Shikkle.)
And… Is it my imagination, or is Stanley two-faced?
Very interesting, Timothy! (It brings to mind Ollie Kipple, I thought he was sweet.) Your characterizations are great!

It’s small potatoes in comparison, but I did a newsletter for a few years for our PTA. It was in the late 1990s, and was my introduction to computers. I didn’t even know the difference between graphics and text mode when I started. (Felt like the apes and monolith in 2001: a Space Odyssey.) I had a lot of fun learning as I went.
That darn school printer, though! It never wouldn’t jam up. I named it Layla ’cause it always got me on my knees.

Thx! Tiny typewriters were the 1st PDA’s. I think Graphic Artists had a legitimate dilemma trying to consolidate & edit info. But w small print the idea is to sneak it by & not to abbreviate.

Didn’t think about footnotes GOOD ONE!

Microscope would be good
