I’ve always loved the strips with the Banana Jr. 6000.

Don’t give up. Even 36 years later, he’ll still find use tracking down a stuffed tiger’s hyperactive kid.

On Golden Pond reference, I believe.

There’s a linux distro to put new life in it.

Yes, I can hear the loons. They live next door.

An allusion to On Golden Pond I believe…

I hear the loons every time I read this strip, but that’s why I keep coming back.

The internet is filled with loons.

Funny thing about this is there are many factories around the world still using 286’s to do simple automated tasks, maybe Banana Jr. could work in a factory dipping car bodies into a vat of paint…lol

The CNC lathe at work boots up with a DOS 3.3 splash screen

SCADA

Poor Banana…..but he’s already outlived and out-performed the Trash 80, so that’s something.

I think Banana should have tried his luck in Hollywood. He might have had a chance co-starring in a remake of the Silent Running.

I hear the loonies. Can you hear the loonies?

I wonder how many will get the On Golden Pond reference….

I hate it when my computer hears the loons.

Banana Jr. 6000 died of overacting!

Loons? I don’t hear any loons, except you….
