Literally the same way with ham radio… We have three purposes, in order of importance: Emergency and disaster services, talking about our radio equipment, and talking about the weather (sometimes in great detail).

There’s a few people keeping the practice alive, like Global Penfriends and etc. I don’t know how many choose to use snail mail for it, but I know of people who for various reason enjoy physical correspondence. Probably most pen pals are using email these days – although that’s getting a little archaic now, too!
I have elderly relatives an ocean away from me and they absolutely refuse to text, so we talk via email. It’s kind of like having a pen pal, sort of.
The central premise behind the comic strip is that Dracula, notorious, bloodthirsty villain of novel, film and legend, scourge of Transylvania, evil incarnate, servant of Satan, is also, in fact, someone’s embarrassing, dad-joke loving father, who uses his incredible powers to entertain his son, who is often unimpressed with the results.

That is true. A friend of mine always remembers everything. She once bumped into someone she knew from some party long ago and was like. “Oh hi Angela, how’s your uncle’s business doing now? Did you and your brother manage to get cash register working again?”, because she remebered that in that single conversation they had that night Angela mentioned her name and that she and her brotger had been helping her uncle start a business that entire summer and some cash register or whatever thing had malfunctioning that day… or some minute, irrelevant detaik like that.
Needless to say, Angela was creeped out and noped the fuck out of there.
