    Hey, I don’t know about others, but I don’t see a comic strip on this page – nor a comment section. Just the logo, menus, calendar and other stuff that is always there. And, interesting enough, this comment box where I’m currently typing in.

    The “Prev” button works, though. Older pages are displayed fine.

    Doesn’t look like the comic was uploaded, the page itself is saying (in comments) “No HTML, Gallery, Motion Artist Comic or Featured Image Found.”

      I set up a macro to refresh every 5 seconds and alert me if the comic appears. If I’m away from the computer a klaxon will sound until I return. A-OOOOO-Gah, A-OOOOO-Gah!

    Yeah, no comic for me either. Happy Black Friday from Darkest Saskatchewan!!

        Not Saskatoon, my friend; I’m a couple of hours south. But we get LOTS of sun. Estevan is the sunniest place in Canada. However, if Amazon can send me warm temperatures, I’mma order me some right now!

        Adam: I showed your Castle Hassle strip to my hosts and a dozen friends at a medieval event last weekend, and I hope to have converted many of them to your point of view. They all spewed their drinks laughing.

      used to be fun to tell the students they had to go empty the “bit bucket” – kept a a special container of chad lying around in the server room just for the occasion 🙂 good old days.

    I know I shouldn’t analyze comics to death but actually you can still tell a lot about computing power by looking at its size. I do calculations on this baby:

    This one reminded me of the scene from “Apollo 13” where Lovell was showing a group of visitors around the facilities and within his response to a question was touting the technological marvels there, such as a computer that can hold millions of pieces of information yet fit into a single room.

    I can practically hear the 80s-style computer bleeps emanating from the hardware in the last panel.

    Man, I wish I could find a sound sample of that, if only to educate the under-twenty crowd what computers were “supposed” to sound like back then.

    Great cartoon as always, Adam!

    Heh. Back when I was in college the time-sharing machines had disk drives the size of washing machines, some of which held almost a gigabyte of data.

    Now I can lose my 8-Gig thumb drive in a sofa cushion.

    For modern computers you put small animals beside the vent then see how long it takes for them to ignite.
