I can’t believe I got this strip done on time. Here’s the back story: I was almost finished the colors on Sunday morning when the screen froze on my trusty, ancient laptop. So I reset. And the computer never, ever turned on again. (Okay, it turned on for one second, then turned off, then turned on again, then turned off repeatedly. This poor laptop’s been dying a slow death for a long time, but this was really the last gasp.) After sh**ing my pants in fear, I calmed down and came up with a plan.
What did I do? I ripped the still-beating hard drive out of that old clunker of a machine, bought a SATA-USB adapter on my lunch hour today, hooked the old hard drive up to my wife’s computer and retrieved the half-done comic file a few hours ago. Thankfully, I’d installed all the necessary software and fonts I needed on my wife’s computer in case just such a thing ever occurred.
Yep. I’m basically MacGyver.
JANUARY Voting Incentive! DRUNKEN DEBAUCHERY!
A vote for Puck on TWC will give you a glimpse into the booze-soaked revelry of a new year’s party at the Puck household!
This particular voting incentive is no longer up on TWC, but you can GET IT AT THE STORE, along with all the other incentives, for a few bucks!
Go Mazda RX!
Reinventing what combustion means, one car at a time!
I wonder if Daphne has shirts that say things like “winkle” and vibraphone”. It’s nothing to worry about; I’m sure it’s all part of growing up and being British, er, Canadian. Her shirt could say other things, but it might be a bit “on the nose”, as it were.
You join the ranks of the few super-nerds who got that reference.
I will wield this power responsibly…
Just kidding.
😉
Maybe another one that says “Charles, I’ve got something to show you.” Man, that takes me back.
I once managed to revive a crippled iMac DV using a 32meg multimedia card and stripped-down ancient version of macos.
The old question of file recovery without storage solved forever.
Yay!
I’ll bet your Laptop’s problem was the external Power Brick. It always is.
It very well may have been. I’ll never know now, though. Long gone.
Before there were Drones, there were Petrol-Powered Toy Aeroplanes (GloPlugs).
For a brief time RC Hobbyists got into the act, and set aside the traditional piston engines and instead manufactured tiny Wankel Engines for their planes (and small Wankel-Powered toy cars, too).
So cool !
Check out eBay and YouTube for them.
Wankel’s always hiding where you least expecting.
Well, Daphne. You got THAT right.
I consider this entire arc to be a sign that I have the full power of prophesy, given the fact that this entire ‘Vote Satan’ election arc follows many of the beats of Trump’s electoral victory to a ‘t’.
And Daphne’s line has never been more applicable.
Wow.
I almost forgot about the old daze before Daphne bought an UPPER LIP.
It was an awkward phase, to say the least.
Can he read the future?! I forgot this was from 2013, this literally happened in 2017.
Well, some art imitates life, and other art predicts it.
Nice Monty Python reference.
Only the true nerds get that one. Hats off to you, sir.
If you don’t vote, you don’t count.
Rich, old people figured that out a long time ago.
I wish young people wold.
Or, you know, would.
