In Frank King’s original Gasoline Alley, it was Skeezix who collected postmarks (during the Depression) rather than Walt. To be fair, I suppose Walt could have done it, too, but the strip made a point of Skeezix doing the collecting as an inexpensive but fun collection to have. I wonder why Skeezix wasn’t the central figure for today’s strip instead of Walt?
We still compose words in a ,more or less, coherent way to communicate with the world but have invented a new way of condensing and sharing the composition.

Not too many folks still around who have postcards that were mailed to them 104 years ago.

I’m pretty sure Possum Kingdom is here in Texas. Nowhere near Oatmeal, though.
