Comic Transcripts

[[A man and woman are lounging around, a laptop on a nearby table.]]
Nostalgic Woman: I realized today that while we might save LETTERS, emails and other digital correspondence will be lost to the ages soon enough.

Critic: Unless you print them out.
Nostalgic Woman: Sure. But when’s the last time you saved a printed email the way you’d save a letter?
Nostalgic Woman: Say the PRESIDENT emailed you. You might save it. But would you FRAME it?

Nostalgic Woman: So I built a program that automatically creates beautiful letters out of digital communications.
Nostalgic Woman: Suitable for cherishing throughout the years and passing down as heirlooms.

[[An array of printed emails is spread out on a table. Each is printed with elaborate and beautiful letterheads. One is from “GRANDMA”, subject “FWD: Fw: re: Fwd: MUST READ” with text “A Marine was” (rest obscured). Another is from “Office of the Governor of Guam”, with text “Blessings to my Dear Friend, I am Mother Sarah Susan Emmanual, the wife to Late. Rev. Dr. Alan George Emmanual who worked with the embassy in Ghana for Nine years. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $48 Million Dollars (Forty Eight Million)” (rest obscured). Another is from “Cashchum Limited LLC Bankers”, titled “Notice of Policy Updates” with text “Each year we send you a copy of our Privacy Policy just to keep you up on our data… [obscured] protection practices” (rest obscured). A final email from “HELEN RICHARDSON” in “HUMAN RESOURCES” titled “Re: Re: Sandra’s Birthday Card” reads simply “Ok.”]]
