Panel 1:

• Text: "WHEN I WAS A BOY, WE DIDN’T HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA. IF YOU WANTED TO SEE A DOG BITE A MAN ON THE ASS, YOU HAD TO HOPE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAD A LARGE CAMERA WITHIN WHICH THE DOG-AND-MAN’S LIGHT WOULD BE EXPOSED TO A LONG ROLL OF TAPE. THAT ROLL OF TAPE WAS STORED IN A CONTAINER THAT WOULD BE SENT TO A TELEVISION STUDIO. THERE, KEEN EXPERTS WOULD WATCH HOURS AND HOURS OF TAPE, DISCERNING WHICH SUCH VIDEO WAS BEST. THESE WOULD BE PLAYED ONCE A DAY IN A GREAT BROADCAST THROUGHOUT THE NATION."
