Friend: Hey, what was with the email you sent? Was it a mistake? It just said ‘fav’.
Fav-er: Yeah. We were done with our conversation, right?

Fav-er: So I acknowledged it with a fav. “I see no need to respond, so here’s a punctuation mark.”
Friend: You can’t fav via email.
Fav-er: You can if you just write ‘fav’.

[[The fav-er hands the friend a card, like a business card.]]
Friend: I guess you’ve got me there.

[[The friend inspects the card. It is a blank card with a large yellow star on it, the symbol of favoriting a post on Twitter.]]

20 years ago (in photocomic form)
