    Might this be a self portrait of Wiley and the start of his developing processes to change the formatting of his art to fit the various newspaper editions?

    Happy anniversary and don’t quit for a while at least.

    Cheers!

    “I for one welcome our computer overlords…” Ken Jennings said to Watson.

    I’d sure rather participate in a navel battle with Barbara than with Anthony.

    Bob didn’t get “screened” for the position? With rapidly changing technology wouldn’t “Master” be obsolete unless his father started the business? Nothing wrong with nepotism.

    The internet is the Tower of Babel, Spammers are terrorists, the Chinese are the owners, unions are the welfare state and Obamoprah is messiah!

    Master has a CRT display. That’s about ten years off.

    Even Barbara Eden wouldn’t call a computer master.

    The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

    No, it was originally published on 3-25-92. I simply made the adustment on the calendar because it would have been too confusing to keep it on that date. I have a valid artistic license that is good for the life of the strip.

    Fortunately as time progressed, it seemed that Watson was great at Jeopardy, but horrible at everything else. We still have a few years before the computers enslave us :)

    The reverse has occurred…now the computers keep the records while Bob curses them because he can’t find the records. Control Alt Delete will fix this problem.

    Sometimes I just don’t get a certain generation…who was actually looking at Barbara Eden’s navel? There were other, more interesting things to look at.

    If this was “first published 20 years ago,” why does the computer say he “started…in ’92”?
