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.
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!
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.

Same here. No comic to be seen. *sad me, crying*
Same here 🙁
Ditto… ='(
Same 🙁
Sorry ’bout that. Got home late and was real tired when I made the post. Just plumb forgot to add the comic.
Damn you, Tryptophan!
Hey, I was kinda worried you were haxzord… so I’m glad to see you weren’t!
^Yup, what he said. No comic.
Can’t cope without my daily Bug!
Yup! No pics to enjoy this morning.
Tried it on Chrome and Firefox just to check.
Yeah, nothing here either.
Is it a meta-bug if there’s a bug in my bug comic???
Same here as well
Well, obviously you all are not using a macrochip computer.
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.”
Well, it’s “MacroChip Computers”. Maybe it’s a Micro Comic? 😀
I’ve heard of saving ink and paper but this is “Too Damn Much”!
Ha-ha!
good, its not just me. ive had this happen in the past but it was only my computer being an idiot and not displaying the comic.
Nope. Only idiot here is me.
What is this?
A comic for ants?
How are they supposed to read the comic, if they can’t even see the page?!
Wasn’t that a line from a Pink Floyd song?
Damn, I guess now my Friday will consist of nothing but refreshing this page. :-/
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!
Well, I’m gonna get my money back on this one Adam.
*Sighs. Pulls out wallet. Starts handing ten dollar bills*
“Ten, twenty, thirty…”
Good, you finally know what your comic is worth to us 🙂
Yeah, it’s doing it to me too.
It’s the book!
Sadly, I now know i’m going to be checking this page repeatingly through the day.
‘Tis truly Black Friday.
It was the turkey.
Well this is embarrassing.
Well, isn’t THIS a fine time to announce that I have joined the ranks of those who have finally caught up after reading the entire strip?
Yeah, no comic for me either. Happy Black Friday from Darkest Saskatchewan!!
Huh? Since when do you ever get sunshine in Saskatoon? Did you order some from Jamaica via AmazonCom?
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!

Sa-weet!
And slightly messy… 🙂
Never thought I’d see a fellow Saskatchewanian around here. (I’m in Alberta right now…but still Saskatchewanian at heart!)
NOOOOOO! I’m espically sad this was on a Friday, so… 3 DAYS WITHOUT BUG!!!!
*REFRESH REFRESH REFRESH*
I’m a math teacher, and I think that’s me on the right.
(But more than half the math teachers I know are female).
It’s only fitting that this happened when the subject was computers 🙂
YAY! Must be it took a while to crash through the wall!!
Does anyone remember “Bit Buckets”?
I haven’t heard that term since the last century… 🙂
Thanks for pulling that back into RAM!

Went to see it last year, the noise is incredible!
Do they make those in a laptop?! 🙂

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!
3rd panel kinda reminds me of my old VAX.
I’m sure Tron is running around in one of those computers somewhere.
…along with a little Jeff Bridges. 😉
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.
