“Huey, Dewey, and Louie” from “Silent Running”….You’re following a fine example.

She’s too old for you kid. Go back home.

1984 strip. Before the age of portable computing (as we know it). I did have a luggable for a while that ran CP/M. It used single-sided 3½ inch disks. Probably later than 1984…

Envious of a television? That computer needs reprogramming.

Screen envy. Not a good thing.

Wow, did we skip a few days or what? I seem to recall a couple of strips where we discover Oliver getting the computer for Christmas

Is the guy in the forth frame wearing a covid mask? Now tthat’s some forward thinking.

Sequence skipped from 12-24 to 12-27. IIRC Oliver received his computer for Christmas. Why is this missing?

Hey, I bought a Mac Plus and my son wanted to cart it away every day! It was like it had its own legs …

Manufacturing fault. They were supposed to amputate the legs before delivery.

Well if you were a computer and you had someone like Oliver always doing crazy things with you, you’d get up and leave too!

“One day I lost the cat! I said, ‘Hey, Ma, I lost the cat!’ She said, "Well, it didn’t just get up and…’ I said, “Ma! You figured this one out!” I miss George Carlin.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

‘Bullet In The Head’ by RATM says it well.

Let’s face it…. screen size matters

Uhh, Dad Jones? Some do. Especially the Banana Jr. 6000 series, when it’s lonely for electronic companionship….

O yeah?!?!
