Brevity by Dan Thompson for June 25, 2022

I hope he has a protective case for his phone because if he claims to be a time traveller he’ll likely need a padded cell.

He keeps his clothes and the cell phone.

There’s no cell reception here at this time. And he needs to phone “home” to get back “home”. It looks like he’s stuck in the past.

Knock twice and say Jimmie sent me.

There should be a blue police box in the background.

What is this “Wi-Fi” of which you speak?

A newspaper is always a reliable time and location reference. There was a small private train to deliver rolls of newspaper to the presses which were downtown so that they could get rail access.

I myself claim to be a time traveler. While I type, I am in fact traveling forward in time at a quite acceptable rate.

A reference to one of the books I love, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and its subsequent movie.

did you know? WiFi doesn’t stand for anything. It just starts with WIreless and rhymes with HiFi

Thank you Mister Thompson, for drawing him with clothes.

The Time Travellers Wife is an interesting fun program, once you get past the whole grooming thing.
