Hello comp.fonts!of the pangram.
I have started a new comic inspired by pangrams. It all started as a lark when I illustrated "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." I fell in love with the quirky, surreal, comical sentences and have been illustrating them since.
My first non-family subscriber is a calligrapher and asked my permission to re-use "Fix problem quickly with galvanized jets." I said, "Sure! Have at it! I just found it on the interwebs!". And then it hit me that I never sought permission for MY use
So, how do I credit authors when I can't find authorship? Should I just not use them? Is there anyone on this list who might know something about the authors of these gems? I see David Lemon referenced as the author of many, but do not know how toreach out to him.
Best wishes to all, to be honest I'm not even sure if this group is read anymore, but here's hoping.

According to Wikipedia, "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." was first used in 1885. If it was ever copyrighted, the copyright has long expired.
The Wikipedia article at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram> gives
quite a number of pangrams in several languages without attribution. However, it also references a number of publications that either
describe pangrams or contain collections of them. You might try looking
at some of those sources to see how they handle your question.

For 30 years, I was a software test engineer, testing the
software used by the U.S. military to operate its space
satellites. The missions of most of those satellites were
highly classified, so I had a very high security clearance.
If I were convicted of what Donald Trump has been accused,
I would have been sentenced to decades in prison. Thus, I
