Sherman's Lagoon Tells It Like It Is

This past Sunday's comic strip of Sherman's Lagoon pretty-well summed up a big problem in today's world, especially of us scared-of-new technology folk.

FRAME 1-- Turtle, "I'm pretty proud og myself. I finally bought one of those fancy phones last week."

FRAME 2-- Sherman, "Should've waited. Their new model came out yesterday. Twice the megapixels for half the price."

FRAME 3-- Crab, "That phone is so yesterday. The one I got this morning blows it away. Ten times the megapixels."

FRAME 4-- Fish, "You all missed the boat. They came out with completely new technology five minutes ago."

FRAME 5-- Fish, "Megapixels are out. Gigapixels are in."

FRAME 6-- Sherman, "This is all leaving me feeling very inadequate. I need a new phone." Crab, "Me too."

Frame 7-- Everyone but fish and turtle leave.

Frame 8-- Turtle, "I just wish somebody would call me."
Fish, "P can't help you there."

It would be nice if we could put a moratorium on technology for awhile so us old behind-the-times folks can get caught up.
