FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for November 05, 2014

Okay, I’m lost in Jason’s speech balloons.

It’s HTML, a standard that a lot of forums and sites use. The “+3” and “+7” makes the text larger. The “P” ends a paragraph. The “B” tags makes the text bold.

I recognized the HTML, but I’d like to hear him actually verbalized it. Randy would have left even sooner, than listen to his gibberish.

MOM!

Had to try it.

While the font tag still works at GoComics it has been deprecated in favor of the style attribute.So now Jason might say…<div style="font-size:18pt; color:red;">MOM!<span style="font-family:comic sans MS;font-size:14pt; color:purple;">Paige kicked me off the computer even though it's <b>my</b> turn to use it.</span></div>

Well, at least Andy knows to use the closing tags.

Now I understand what people mean when they refer to speaking computerese.

I’m surprised that I could figure it out, and picture it in my mind what it would have looked like! I am NOT an HTML person.

Error Statement, Error Statement, Joshua. the “/” is the off switch so it’s “P” begins a paragraph and “/P” ends the paragraph.

nothing like good old HTML

@Joshua: The “p” tag does not end the paragraph, it starts a new one a closing “/p” tag ends a paragraph!

@K.C. Fahel:Jason is complaining to his mother in improper code and it bothers me a little…(because I AM an HTML person)

@Sodaburger: The classic strips are quite old. I remember the days when you didn’t need to use the closing /p tag to get a “clean” code. And I don’t remember the very first days.

Yeah, Jason does need some time away from the computer.

@Jason

Hack the Banks for money and buy yourself a new computer. With those Cheapskate parents of yours, you’ll always have to share everything with your older sibling.

In “Suburban Jungle,” a programmer talked in thicker code than that all the time.
