The February 8 cartoon, Shoe, (by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly) depicts Professor Cosmo Fishhawk at his desk with his computer repairman, Wiz, saying, "You really should think about a phone upgrade, Cosmo."
"Why?" asks Cosmo; his land line has years of life left in it. He then comments, "You sure love your electronic gadgets, don't you, Wiz?" who responds by explaining that his iPad is connected to the Web, his iPod to his favorite music, and his cellphone lets him communicate with anyone anywhere, including taking photos which he can link to his computer, laptop and even his streaming TV. "Yessir, it's one huge 21st century network."
Cosmo replies, "Y'know, one good power surge and it could be 1947 for you all over again."
