That just might be a record. It's so many, I had to break everything up into three different jpegs.
Cartoonists' quest to develop a reading-email device continues. Lynn Johnston tries a jagged tail leading to the screen, similar to the Blondie solution.
I don't think this works, either. The tail implies actual sound, like from a television. The simple solution is this: Rigid-type font suspended above the scene--just like Snoopy's typing. No balloon, no tale. All cartoonists reading my blog, I give this idea to you for free.

You can't give that away for free; I've already copyrighted it. Expect a knock on your door from the copyright police.
Oh, please, you could have at least let them try "scroll bars on the right in the word balloon" and "scroll bars on this panel" first.
This blog has definitely caught the eye of some cartoonists out there. There do seem to be ones both online and in print that going to the Web to research their trade. Or is it just those that have blogs of their own?
No surprise from Darrin Bell. He's an old blue. Go Bears!
