Those existed! Oh man I remember my dad had a collection of photocopied comics and stuff.
I specifically remember there being one of a frog in a stork’s mouth holding its throat shut so it couldn’t be swallowed and it said “Never give up.” I thought it was so funny at the time.
Then there were joke pages about drinking beer and hating your wife. They’d photocopy and pass these around. I’m not sure if they were ever actually faxed.
Edit: for reference, this would have been around ‘88-‘93. I don’t think that filing cabinet full of that shit ever got opened after that. Now I wish I had scanned them all before tossing the thing in 2016.
I wasn’t born yet at the time (a 2003 baby) but I heard they faxed fake virus hoaxes to scare people; Weird Al Yankovic’s Virus Alert makes fun of those
That has got to be literally older than the internet. I swear I remember seeing it hanging in my grandpa’s garage when I was a kid, and it was already yellowed by then.

I don’t remember anything like that, but I would have been under 10 when this was going on.
Dude, the frog in the storks mouth was EXACTLY the one I had in mind
I did some googling. “Frog and stork” led to is autofilling “never give up”
It’s been redrawn a number of times over the years, but this is the closest to what I remember:

This is my first time seeing it in colour. It was always a black and white shitty photocopy to me.
Edit: I have since learned that it’s supposed to be a Heron.
