FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for April 17, 2021

who wouldn’t want a mango-kiwi iFruit computer (aside from Jason)?

And here I was commenting yesterday about the family having only one computer.

I hope Jason’s just having a nightmare and will wake up screaming.

Ah Binnie Babies, Where would ebay be if they where not sought after by parents who thought they had value.

Why have colorful computers never caught on. Apple tried it, and dell tried it, but for some reason, people seem to prefer plain black or white/beige computers. Do people think that boring looking computers are better?

She keeps the house freezing to save money but buys a bunch of computers?

While keeping track of the classic Sunday strips, I found that there was a whole week’s arc of beanie babies that for some reason Bill Amend did not repeat here in the classics. (Andy is a HUGE beanie baby junky in that arc). This happens occasionally and is a big reason why these classics are out of seasonal order.

This woman needs to listen to her son. Jason can be a bit of a punk but there’s no denying he knows his computers.

Jason is missing out on an opportunity here. He could build his own Beowulf cluster of iFruit and have more computing power than he ever would have gotten in a standard PC (in those days)

Feel free to buy your own computer any time, Jason. With your own money.

Do you want to fight this man for the last Beanie Baby?

I didn’t know it was possible for an uber nerd to be embarrassed

Jason, he’s on COMMISSION…

And she always berates her husband for impulsive buying!

I vaguely remember the iMac G3 computer. How long did they last? 4 years? Were they considered a marketing failure? I wonder if anyone is still using one. I had an original 1984 Mac computer and ended up giving it away. Always regretted that.

One of the rarest original G3 iMacs was the orange one. Apparently it was a color few loved except in Denver and Knoxville, TN.

I know a few women who like mango-kiwi. Yes they do freak when a product is discontinued or out of stock. For them the shortages during the past year has been hell.

SOMEBODY BLOCK HER CARDS!!

Kid, this is your chance to have your OWN computer, and all you have to do is keep your mouth shut and take a mango-kiwi iFRuiT.
