"It was a dark and stormy night"
Snoopy was always one of my literary heroes, even though he was under-appreciated by the publishing establishment of his own time.
So when I got the gift of this Snoopy doll, I knew just where to sit him.
Funny enough, I got him as thank you gift for helping a friend get a friend a typewriter (in the modern form of a laptop). A perfect circle.

Typewriters are not dead, but it's close.
I do suspect though that for decades there'll be a tiny market for them at premium prices, for specialized and sentimental purposes.

Hey, Big E, how's it hanging?

Possibly. I too own a vintage Remington but don't use it as the typewriter is obviously far less forgiving than a computer. (Plus the ribbon it came with is very worn and I haven't bothered to find a replacement.)
I wonder if it affects the way we write, though. The ability to easily change what we've written when using a computer could produce work different from what we might do on a typewriter.
Yes, I think TTL said that he thinks that the infinite editing capabilities in digital has virtually killed art.
I don't know. I like to be able to undo mistakes. Although actually I tend to do quite little editing either in writing or pictorial art.
Hanging left now, feel much better.

LOL! You make me think of Jim Carrey in 'Liar Liar!' :-D
