Frank and Ernest by Thaves for March 26, 2023

Those puns deserve a re-boot.

Thaves mind needs a virus scan. His syntax is sketchy. But funny.

I like everbody else used to work on TV’s, I was in the drug store and server at the little food counter asked me to look at her TV, I went to her house, maybe 8 miles RT, it was unplugged. I charged her, she was so mad! HER husband was my coach in all my school years, he was always my coach!! He made me write I will not run in the hall 1000 times! So there Coach Graham!

Good thing they fixed it before Frank’s mom visited, you wouldn’t want motherboard. Now they can read Peanuts on GoComics and see what Charlie Brown and Linux are up to.

Besides not being plugged into an outlet for power, it appears that the computer system unit is not connected to the monitor.

With all this computer talk, I won’t have to go jargon today!

Wow. Cringeworthy. Very cringeworthy.

And do you not know those classify as “dad jokes”?

Maybe some hot links and Spam if they aren’t on a crash diet,

That reminds me of my late Uncle George who called me saying his computer wasn’t working at all. Well, after trying a few things I asked him if it was unplugged? Well, for the next 5 minutes or so he was yelling at me over the phone. It got so bad that I had to to take the smartphone away from my ear as he sounded like he was on speaker phone. Then all of sudden complete silence and I put the phone back to my ear. I heard he say “um um…”, I cut him short and said “You did unplug the computer”. He said “Sorry, I forgot that I cleaned the computer room and in the process unplugged the computer”. I felt vindicated and started to laugh. I didn’t laugh to long as he apologized to me and my Uncle was a very nice guy.

If you hit your head trying to remember something, is that RAM memory?

In my first job out of college for a computer company, we used the same system to track bugs and customer support incidents. The code for user errors was UBD. User Brain Damage. The customers never saw that one.

I was worried I wouldn’t understand tech-talk

Brilliant!

the puns are strong today. :D

guess they are headed to Dunkin.com…!

Clear-cut case of PEBCAK*.

Which was funnier? The comic or the comments? Great stuff.

I’m about to crash to a Blue Scream. I need a Raspberry Pi and some cookies…

I always believed that computers were the work of the Devil. What, haven’t you seen someone at a computer keyboard taking the Lord’s name in vain? All the time.

logged into this one didn’t you?

Yeah, pun it up guys.

Getting lunch gives a chance for face time.

Finally, Finally, Finally, Formatted the strip the way it should be…

A very punny cartoon today.

But I still think that there is a bug in this comic somewhere.

In the 1990s, there was a well known but apocryphal story about someone calling tech support because the screen went blank. To shorten the story, the tech wanted the user to check the power cord. The user said the room was too dark to see the other end of the power cord, which was behind the desk. Turning the lights on wouldn’t do any good because the power was out. The tech said “… You’re too stupid to own a computer.”

This is all so boring, I fell asleep on the desktop.

I found the problem with a friend’s computer. She had plugged the power strip into itself.

They missed the opportunity to say nibble (4 bits) instead of the overused byte.
