Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's pretty spot on, I'm especially impressed by the "every hour" news, which has absolutely been a thing for news casts for a while now.
I wonder how he would have responded to the ability for instant news? And every hour becoming kind of old fashioned.
Right! I think the only thing they missed is airplanes just not being necessary for delivery (unless you count in-flight wi-fi). And the grammaphone was just leapfrogged; the first news radio broadcast was only 7 years after this cartoon
These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.
