That's pretty spot on, I'm especially impressed by the "every hour" news, which has absolutely been a thing for news casts for a while now.
I wonder how he would have responded to the ability for instant news? And every hour becoming kind of old fashioned.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Right! I think the only thing they missed is airplanes just not being necessary for delivery (unless you count in-flight wi-fi). And the grammaphone was just leapfrogged; the first news radio broadcast was only 7 years after this cartoon
We do have small aircraft (drones) being used for deliveries now though, so not completely wrong

These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.
They didn’t predict newspapers will contain so many ads it’s almost unusable.
Also, each newspaper is distributed by individual articles, so each article has to be low quality bait.
I have to use one hand for my phone while eating, look what they took from us 😭
Your phone can do text to speech. And it can play radio.
Counterpoint: Podcasts
The tiny newspaper is littered with advertisements that you gotta block by wearing these specially glasses.
And a happy future today to you too:-)
