This is funny. Reminds me of a book I saw a while back, about the invention of the telegraph and how it changed society as rapidly then as has the internet changed ours today.
I never did learn Morse code, except I could tap it out, but couldn’t copy it off the radio. That’s the real test, being able to copy code.

Shoot. I thought there might be a hidden message in his Morse, but now I don’t think so.
Phonetically, one usually uses dit/dah to correspond to dot/dash, not doo/doot. So, if you assign “doo” = “.” and “doot” = “-“, then -..- .- – ..– – spells XATÜT. If you assign “doo” = “-” and “doot” = “.”, then .–. -. . –.. . spells PNEZE.
From which we may reasonably conclude the following:
1) Drew just made up the Morse signal for comic effect.
2) It’s pure coincidence that the doo/doots actually correspond to actual letters.
3) I have way too much time on my hands right now.
I printed out this cartoon and taped it to my office door. I came in this morning to find that someone had added a sticky next to it “translating” the doo-doots.
And does the mystery translation agree with my monkey-fisted effort, or did they get something else?
