But her pencil has an eraser at both ends.

What a cool gift idea!

….I want ones of that too!

I’d be quilling to pay for one of those.

Try the Society for Creative Anachronisms, costumes, bashing, mead & beer, feasts throwing the bones over your shoulder to the dogs. . .

Doesn’t it cause scratches?

guess I’m an granpaquarian

Now I know what to ask Santa for next Xmas.

Mine was a dull plastic pen that isn’t compatible with my laptop for some reason.

…

Antiquarian?

I thought this was a family cartoon?

What? Antiquarian means a person who studies or collects antiques or antiquities?

Oh… ah, heh heh, wait… um…

The Age of Antiquarius

The only quill or feather styluses I can find look cheap and cheesy. I wish I could find a quill “fountain” pen, as opposed to all of the dip pens being sold as fountain pens.

I once made a bunch of quill ballpoint pens for an event. It was easy to do and quite popular.

For anyone curious, you just remove the ink tube/tip from a bunch of ballpoints, cut the tips off the feathers, and slide the ink tubes into the hollow shaft of the feathers. It stays in place quite well through friction.
