  1. password in this case is not like the game show ~ it’s like the military, to make sure it’s a ‘friendly’ trying to get in, not an enemy trying to infiltrate

  2. I love the top one from ’61 referencing the word ‘password’ not too long before ‘Password’ started! #5 down by Perry Barlow is great. Like his fairly realistic sketch style artwork. Yes, he’s can’t wait to speak to mother. #8 at the bottom is my favorite though.
