First, that list they have shows lightbulbs (regular incandescent tungsten filament type) but not candles? Or kerosene/oil lanterns? Second, I have four manual typewriters. They run without power, of course, but finding ribbons can be a little tough, even over the internet! Finding ink for my fountain pens is easier.
Oh -- one last thing. That fox looks like it's writing a cranky letter to the local newspaper decrying some horrible calumny relating to some gossip by those Grimm Brothers. Or Aesop, the tattle-tale.
