Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for August 20, 2022

With a computer, you can pound on the mouse….

With a computer, you can merely delete something that doesn’t come out the way you want. With a typewriter, you have to take a fresh sheet of paper and start from scratch, without making any mistakes, of course.

Or Shoe can just stomp on his shoe. That might shake the typewriter also.

Shoe just wants to hear the little bell go “ding” when it’s time to return the carriage to the right.

Once upon a time, angrily slamming down a phone was a movie cliche.

Also less likely to get carpal tunnel using a typewriter.

Same with the old rotary phones. You could slam the handset down to hang up. It was very satisfying.

Computers will get even with you if try physical abuse.

Yeah, Ya can’t slam smart phones either….

Shoe’s getting Medieval!!

The only reason I passed typing in high school was because of the girl who sat beside me!

Now I want a steampunk computer keyboard that had a carriage that moves as I type.

And yes, when I run the carriage back to home, that ought to be same as pressing enter.

But computers can make your mistakes so much faster!
