    My parents have had to wipe their computer and reboot more times then any normal human should ever have to do it. I swear they go to computervirus.com and trojancomputerkiller.net 24/7 to fuck that poor machine up.

    So, did Gabe's power of destroying technology make the old man's pacemaker stop working? I hope so. That's fantastic.

    Yeah. My Dad, who is one of the most brilliant people I know, blames his computer every time a YouTube video doesn't load instantly.

    Also, he once bitched at me because I left "a HUGE file" on their computer, after a visit, and that it must be responsible for whatever nebulous wonkiness he was imagining at the time. That file? A fucking 146k chatlog of doodles I had with mully.

    I really, honestly like gabe's expression in panel 3.

    My mother once made me drop everything I was doing (making myself lunch) and come down to the basement in order to see what was wrong with the printer. I asked her if it was plugged in and she kept repeating "I don't know, just come down here and look at it."

    It wasn't plugged in. This shit isn't hard. I'm sure lamps and other devices used the same plug/wall interface in the 60s and 70s as our modern, scary, demon-computers do today. There is no excuse as to why she should be afraid to look at it.

    Yeah, its alright. Makes sense at least. Still, a part of me misses confusing comics about robot musicians engaging in group sex.

    I really like the way Gabe handled it in an older comic. "Okay, pretend it's a toaster, and then see if it's plugged in."

    I was really hoping that the last Matrix movie would end with Neo making his way to the main computer and hooking up a Lexmark printer to it.

    Blam. War's over, the Matrix is down, nobody has to get symbolically crucified/tentacle raped.
