Someone else remembers CompuServe?!

I guess I just assumed it was a child. Based on the skill level.

I can’t bring myself to mock something that someone probably made out of genuine love. It makes me too sad. No matter how much of a piece of shit Charlie might have been.

Mocking it feels like the opposite of empathy. I know how much he didn’t believe in empathy, but as usual, he was wrong. So I’m displaying some. Not for him. But for whoever made this for him.

I wouldn’t have said this is Far Side. This doesn’t look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.

Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I’m a fan.

The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any “idee” (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking “idea about what?”

We’re not at the height of comedy here.

That’s not how you spell lettuce.

Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)

Ooh, I’ll play! I’m 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).

The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.

The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.

I’ve never heard of a company giving you your birthday off either. But it’s the only day every year that I feel special, so I always use vacation time to have that day off. And usually a couple of days surrounding it too.

And The Handmaid’s Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.

I agree. I knew the image in the thumbnail wasn’t a Commodore 64, because it had an @ symbol above the 2. Nope! Shoulda been quotation marks there (then).

But when I click on the article, I think that first picture is right. At least, it looks like what I remember.
