Page 3 – Little Al in the Computer Age
The age of this strip is revealed by the looks and the impression points of the computer. Additionaly, even if not obvious for the majority of the readers, the communication mentioned in the last frame is not Internet, it´s not even a LAN. It´s good old X25. The comic drawing didn´t start during the X25 classes because they were fun. No, I started to draw the comics at the modem classes. This strip is funnier if you know that back in the days, the telecom guy worked for “Televerket”. A lot of things can be said about that company, but one thing is for sure: their communication never broke. They weren´t cheap (or fast) but they delivered quality, something not so easily found these days. Poor Little Al will sit and wait there for quite some time…
