Not everything in this blog has to be about typewriters, does it? I recently rediscovered this ca. 1979 artifact, preserved by a friend, that shows just how sophisticated my sense of humor was at the time. I was fascinated by prosimians. (The more modern term is strepsirrhines.) I did have my Remington Noiseless no. 7, but didn't choose to use it on this dustjacket for a prosimian action novel. Maybe it will bring some chuckles.
Note the prescient inclusion of a cell phone with video screen, and the reference to Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Little did I know that I would eventually own a typewriter that refers to Ulan Bator.
OK, so I did find a typewriter connection.
awesome. your kind review from the clarion reminds me of a 10th grade english class project (1983) where we had to take our best writing samples from the year and bind them in self-designed book covers. on the back i placed glowing reviews....

always had a twisted sense of humor, it seems.
Ha ha—yes, 10th grade is about when I created this.
DeleteWhat, no sample of the Tarsierinian palindromes within? :D
