ALEX: You mean you were physically…
CUSTOMER: What do you guys put in those boxes, steel siding?

Sorry to always be the copyediting nitpicker (especially this direction), but:
“What do you guys put in those [boses], steel siding?”, last panel. Correct in transcript.
And if it isn’t worth bothering to fix something over 20 years old, you’re probably right : -) Having said that, now you know you still get rereads of 20 year old stuff…
Unfortunately I don’t have the original files for the ones these old, so I can’t actually go back and fix them. I believe in 96 I was using WordPerfect Suite’s drawing/presentation program – the Windows 3.1 version!
… actually, looking at the dialog connector lines, this was a native OS/2 program called Photo>Graphics.
Also “opssible” 🙂
