The tech business is like an addiction

Why does Zipper look like Richard Hammond in the last frame?!

Given the characters in this strip, I detect in-breeding in most of them!!!

Uh-oh! I see possible prison sentences in the future. Unless Kim (and maybe Alex) can do a thorough search and recognizes a clear case of fraud.

The blind leading the blind…

Jeff is technically his ex-brother in law, right? The relationships in this toon are almost as complicated as The Archers (longest running radio soap drama on the BBC)

Careful, Mike!

You’d think Mike would recognize worthless stock options when he sees them.

Around this time, there was a cartoon depicting two homeless men on a park bench. One said, “I used to own one of the leading dot-com companies.” The other said, “I still do.”

Just no. Hard no!

Well …………. today Mike has an iMac, and the scammers don’t……..but they did on the 15th. ……………….I’m so confused!

And so, it begins. Can’t keep a good nerd down.

Or he could use dice to pick one.

Spoiler alert.This one works out for Mike.

Here we go ’round the mulberry bush! Again.

An original iMac. If Mike is smart enough to buy one of those, why does he keep playing the “dot Com or Death” game?
