   In therapy, years later, ‘Lil Brother would break down sobbing, working out exactly why he only uses disposable Bic pens.

   And of course, there’s Snoopy, sitting with his typewriter while everyone else has to write with pencils. Look at him, lording it over the rest of us. Oh, sure, we COULD rise up against him and take his typewriter for ourselves, but we know — oh, yes, we KNOW — about his elite Beagle Scout squadron. Some, like Olivier, are trained to dive recklessly at our heads; others, like Harriet, placate the masses with angel food cake with seven-minute frosting.

   And so there he sits, typing rambling tales and love letters to Miss Helen Sweetstory, while the rest of us stumble through our dreary lives with naught but sharp pencils. Oh, and computers! Never mind.
