When the Outer Limits came on, they started the show saying the viewers' TV were now under control by a show. They control the horizontal and the vertical, etcetcetc. And then some really cool sci-fi program would ensue. We loved that show and to my knowledge, no one ever shot up their TV because it was not under their control. Maybe this speaks to "we don't care, just entertain us" attitudes, but we all knew there was no control to lose. We could always change the channel or turn off the damned thing.
Interesting article 🥰

Another great post and comic, Ed! That book looks fantastic. I’ll be adding to my reading list
After all these years I always learn something new from my husband. Who knew PT Barnum's grandson had an ad agency. You crack me up Flynn.
What a great post! Really enjoyed the illustrated forest moment, the New York TV story, and the message about posting at your own pace.
