Comic strip
Saw this in the paper today; thought people might find it amusing.
“Don’t be too harsh to these poems until they’re typed.
I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty:
at least if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.”

Re: Comic strip
Yes funny and pretty true! 
For those unknowing people who do have the same question:
"A typewriter is a machine that produces letters on paper when the user strikes a key, which, in turn, forces a steel type to hit a ribbon and transfer ink from that ribbon to the paper. Typewriters were regularly used from the late 1800s until the late 1900s, when computers gained in popularity."

Re: Comic strip
It's not surprising that many people don't know what a typewriter is any longer. At least in the US, many young people today can't tell time by looking at a clock with hands, or make change without reading the total on a cash register or using a calculator. Then again, many people in my generation can't cut or write with a quill, saddle a horse, or load a muzzle-loading rifle.
