I think this comic is set in 1996. The only years which contained both 3.5″ floppies (introduced in 1982) and July 31st on a Wednesday are 1985, 1991, 1996 and 2002. That is minimally Windows 3.1 running which came out in 1992.
I can just see John Cook sitting at work researching all this stuff about the comic. His boss comes along, “John have you got that work done yet? You NEED to have it done by tomorrow” “Yeah yeah, I’m getting to it.”
It may look like hes doing nothing at his job, but this is secretly a company that grows ties. It requires office workers to spend hours at a time pretending to work to give the ties the proper fermentation time to grow into proper business attire. Look how this productive work day has added inches on this tie! Hes one of the best workers.
No, a long, long, lonnnnnng time ago there were eyes with pupils in ASP strips. Jocasta had pupils and/or irises… and more than three fingers on each hand.
Those early comics are so creepy I can barely stand to look at them.
thats me, although i dont have a job
Are you looking for one?
Me too, also without job. 🙁
and thats why were all commenting here.
I lol’d.
Im at work doing that right now!
Im a paid intern and thats what i’ve been doing for 3 months.
Not after today.
I love that hobo. But what happened to his beer sign?
This is the prequel. If you find yourself bored and drooling at work, you can attempt to piece together the out of order timeline of the ASP hobo.
He left his sign at “the shed” after the last session. This is what happens to folk who train at the shed with AB.
HEY! His name is Scooter! Quit callin’ him hobo…it’s insensitive.
Is that Windows 3.1 on his screen? No wonder he’s a zombie.
Ya, and those are 3.25″ disks on his desk. This comic is 15 years old!
He did say it was a prequel
3.5″ Bro. I should know. I just destroyed my BIOS with one.
I have a tough enough time looking at XP all day at work. HA HA.
jaja increible el cuarto cuadro!
You have a potato in your pocket and your not afraid to use it?
Where is the keyboard? 🙂
It probably fell on the floor months ago and he hasn’t needed it since.
Love the “windmill of the month”!
haha, I had to look hard for that one.
I sometimes wonder if you had to sell your soul to be this clever every single time. Even the hidden comics are a hoot.
Isn’t that the hobo that became the CEO of the burger company?
Prequel it is.
Hobos FTW
You are now aware that the people in the comics have lost their pupils.
they never had any.
Er, they’re 3.5″ disks. Now get off my lawn!
This essentially explains my life every single day.
Hell, the hidden comics are sometimes even funnier than the normal ones xD
Huh, shouldn’t the pocket be on the left side of his shirt? Where did his pocket go in frame 3? Why am I noticing stuff like this?
OMG THATS ME AT WORK.
RIGHT NOW.

It’s good to see that someone’s paying attention.

The guy ain’t got any iris.
You want Iris?
