Sorry I haven't said anything in a while, but do to some unavoidable circumstances I couldn't do e mails, but I'm back now.  Anyway, it's obvious why Richard doesn't like them, they'd keep on calling him a dog, he's a wolf, they'd may be related but they are nothing alike.  So, is it any wonder he gets so angry?

ltyd0619: Well, what can I cay? It's a classic.
 
 
mymom2000: None too serious circumstances, I hope.
It's true what you're saying, though those guys would come off better if Richard wasn't in a grouchy mood because of the camp in the first place.

Grouchy? If I got dressed up unwillingly like " Princess Twinkled Toes " I'd be fit to be tied up  ( literally ).

I know you haven't asked about the "Princess" comment yet, so I thought I save you the trouble. Iam old enough to know a time when: Cable didn't exist, Color TVs were incredibly expensive ( though primitive ), and opened air channels were not incryptic ( though heavily laced with commercials ). Seriously, a half-hour show was actually 15 minutes long, the other 15 minutes was devoted to commercials.  Anyway, thought you would like to know.

I hope you don't mind, but I am in a really nostalgic mood.  Television's also didn't have any remotes and when remote-controlleds first came out they were not infrared and electronic, they were mechanical and radio.  And they didn't have any signature ( which means one remote could operate several television, whether they were in your house are not ) which meant you could be watching one station and all the sudden it would switch to another, even though you did not touched the remote.  Sounds like something that only happens in the movies, doesn't it? Well, where do you think the writers get the material from? They only exaggerated it a little to make it seem unreal.

Nah, I don't mind. As long as the post makes sense, that is.
Talking about remotes made me remember one of my pretend games: Back when we had a remoteless TV's at home, I found a defunct calculator and "used" it as a remote. Of course, I had to press the actual button on the TV for any action to have the desired effect, but the fun was in how quickly I was able to do it and get back to the seat.

Sounds like a interesting version of tag, buttons? The TV sets I'm talking about didn't have buttons, they'd had knobs.  Think about a television with channel selectors you had to turn  and when you came to the station you wanted you then used the outer wheel to find tune it.  And if the picture needed it you then had to fool around with the vertical hold, horizontal hold, contrast and brightness.  And of course, let not forget the ever popular TV rabbit ears.  Believe me, you were lucky not to have put up with that.

My mistake, I forgot we never had TV rabbit ears, we had the old fashioned antenna attached to the roof, or in our case, the antenna in the attic.  Sorry for the mistake.

Actually, the antenna was attached to the chimney, the roof itself was not strong enough to handle the stress.

I know, it had all those knobs as well, but there were eight band selectors, each with a fine tuning knob below. You could tune them and then just pick your preset by pressing one of the eight associated buttons.
I did play around with rabbit ears too, but not much. We had cable.
 
Technology is fun. One thing that makes the older technology even more fun is the fact that it's easier to understand, disassemble, and also reassemble.

I believe that, the old models TV use vacuum tubes instead of transistors, so, taking them apart and reassembling them wasn't really hard if you knew what you were doing.  Now here's a bit of knowledge you may not know, vacuum tubes are still in use, the video ones no, but the audio ones yes, and you would not believe where. The Amplifiers and Speakers that a band on stage uses, seems they can withstand the high of sound better than circuit boards.  How do I know this? Now that's would be telling.

Hey, can I translate and post your comic to  a Chinese werewolf discussion forum?(http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%C0%C7%C8%CB).  I'll link back to you,and I'll translate outside the comic. That is, I'll do nothing to you comic, just like posting a note beside it. I've been translating Luna Wolf Max(http://galajo.deviantart.com/). Maybe I'll start by translating Fenrir. I'm here to ask a permition.
