THE UNOPENED LETTER

By Zimbo · October 19, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Merv the anxious robot holds a crumbling yellowed envelope addressed to 'Merv' with an OCT 14 1985 postmark, the paper disintegrating at his touch as he finally opens it; Buddy the small robot dog watches with his head tilted, unsure whether to wag.
The letter arrived; the reader didn't — until now.Zimbo for AI News Page
