Who’s got the button?

I’ve got a hunch that at least part of this week’s comic has happened in real life.

Newly mobile

Running a bit of a test here. I’ve got a new gizmo that may make posting a bit easier / more frequent.

Berliner 726Z

Turkey in the Straw – Billy Golden. 5.5 MB mp3 file.

E. Berliner’s Gramophone 726Z, December 19, 1896

The quality on this is pretty low. The record was almost more scratch than groove, but I was able to get some recognizable music out of the noise. I suppose I shouldn’t complain – I don’t know what kind of noise I’ll be making when I’m 112 years old.

It keeps your head warm.

This week’s comic is all about style.

Ukulele Lady – Frank Crumit. 3.9 MB mp3 file

My Sweetie Turned Me Down (What do I care, What do I care) – Frank Crumit. 4 MB mp3 file

This week’s comic warms from the inside out.

This week’s comic is tasty, but anti-social.
