Wrong Hands by John Atkinson for June 01, 2015

How is Jar Jar Binks obsolete?…wait don’t answer that….sigh…

Grammar is not obsolete just because the Internet is full of people who either don’t know how to or choose not to use it correctly.

Also, I never minded Jar Jar that much. He annoyed me far less than certain other characters in the series who unfortunately show up much more frequently.

Quick count…. I think I used 14 of these, counting grammar, in the last two weeks or so….and still own, somewhere, at least a couple more.

Of course, I’ve never claimed any lack of obsolescence.

Unfortunately, a few are really, truly gone…. like privacy.

Still need your zipcode for those items ordered on the internet.

I just recently discovered a great used bookstore near me.

Understand all these except for zip code. ?

Wow! Computers have made a whole alphabet of things obsolete.

This is fairly brilliant. I’m with you, Susan, I still use many of these, but I’m an admitted Luddite.

I would have said “slide rule” for S since stereos are still sold.

I work in my company’s Quality Department and admittedly some people still place pushing out product above making sure it’s good.

Couldn’t you have used a dictionary to find another “Q” description, though?

I’m curious. Which was the hardest letter of obsolescence for the cartoonist to find?

Not sure I understand the W for wristwatch part (I wear one; so do lots of other people), but the rest is really excellent!

Could he have used eight track for E?

“zip code” might refer to the fact that more and more people use email and online bill payment instead of “snail mail”.

I thought Q was one of the best parts of the strip!

what is a jar jar????

JAR JAR NOOOOOOOOOO
