On The Internet No One Knows You're The Guy Who Said Nobody Knows You're A Dog
from the cartoon-celebrities dept
An amusing article about the guy who first created the cartoon and caption for the New Yorker with the famous line: “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog”. Apparently, very few people realize that this is where the quote came from, and even fewer know who the creator was. Of course, financially, it hasn’t hurt him – as he receives commissions whenever the cartoon is reprinted. Sometimes, though, those commissions are a little sad. The cartoon was used by Bill Gates in his book for the steep fee of $200.

It was Scott Fahlman at CMU, and I remember it was sometime around ’85…that is, you didn’t see them before mid ’85 and then suddenly they were everywhere!
