I had a feeling it wasn’t a woman he was talking to.This comic is so old, that at the time it was made you could probably (not likely) count the number of actual Women with a computer that had an internet connection in 1993. (It was the final year for me using BBS’es) on two hands. The internet was a big sausage fest in those heady early years, I used to chuckle at the early dating sites and chatrooms, knowing how lopsided the actual male to female ratio was. My rule was simple, ANYBODY can misrepresent themselves, especially in a MMORPG so don’t assume ANYTHING until you meet them IRL. I still go by that rule today 28 years later!
