- The Peanuts comic appearing today (1st January 1993) featured a
- telephone conversation between Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown as
- follows:
-
- Peppermint Patty to Charlie Brown:
-
- "Hi, Chuck ... just calling to wish you a Happy New Year ... do you
- love me, Chuck?"
-
- Charlie Brown in reply:
-
- "I'm sorry, but your call cannot go through ... please hang up, and do
- not dial again ..."
-
- ...
-
- On a loosely related note, the Adam comic that appears in {The Toronto
- Star} now has a grainier appearance, with digital style contours on
- the artwork. The era of syndicators faxing those cartoons to
- newspapers is well underway.

- [Moderator's Note: Some of the cartoonists have even made reference to
- their use of the fax machine: consider 'Family Circus', where in one
- episode, by artist/author Bill Keane (whose cartoons deal with his
- family and himself) the picture is a picture of Keane himself as he
- draws the cartoon and a caption telling his son Billy to 'hurry up and
- get this in the fax machine to the Syndicate right away, or it will be
- too late for the Sunday papers ...' :) PAT]
