Abstract
In the process of developing interfaces for creative and narrative uses of
the PDA, the author recommends a re-examination of both the Magic Cap
platform from General Magic in the early 1990s, and the economy of means by
which comics like "Nancy" have conveyed story, meaning and feeling since
the early- and mid- 20th century.

Bio
Mike Mosher is Assistant Professor, Art/Communication multimedia at Saginaw Valley State University, University Center MI 48710. His mom used to draw 1940 women that looked like Nancy's aunt Fritzi.
