Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1:
- A man is sitting in front of a computer.
- He is saying, “Come on, baby, you can do it…”
Panel 2:
- The computer display shows a clock with the text: “Weird… why does my computer like so much crappy music? Oh… oh right.”
Panel 3:
- The computer displays a message: “Here’s the porn you were illegally downloading. Can we get together? Can we? Can we??”
- The man looks surprised.
Panel 4:
- The man is saying, “Please wait. Your video will load in 15 to 20 minutes.”
Panel 5:
- A thought bubble appears from the man, saying, “Oh man… these are the photos of me and Sally at the Grand Canyon!”
Panel 6:
- The man is seen copying files from the computer, commenting, “You copy everything you want, and now the old box is obsolete. Even its memories are no longer unique.”
Panel 7:
- There is a dark space with boxes and a lifeless computer. The caption reads, “It hasn’t changed, but specialness is not a conserved quantity, especially in the age of information.”
Panel 8:
- The final panel shows two characters. One is asking, “But, what are you going to do with your brain before you die?”
- The other character, smirking, replies, “I’ll use it to give everyone the finger!”
This comic humorously explores themes of nostalgia, technology, and the value of personal memories.
