69 – Technology
I swear, all them little kids nowadays have cell phones.
Back in my day…
I’ve been really enjoying these last three strips. Chloe and Mimi are such a fun pair to draw.

I’m guessing that Cloe is remembering the famously cynical adage about now that “no good deed ever goes unpunished.” Have a bit of patience there girl.
Don’t worry. Chloe IS quite patient. ^^
That is so true, when I was in high school, maybe like 10 people had phones in the whole school, but now you see toddlers with iPads and what have you-s
Are you that much younger than me?
When I was in high school, the only one with a cell phone was the resident drug dealer.
Maybe all he had was a pager, now that I’m thinking about it.
I don’t know am I? What’s the earliest news do you remember watching as a kid? Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? Iran-Contra affair? The shuttle explosion?
The initial Columbia launch for sure in 1981. It was so special, my father brought the TV to the dining room just for that. I was glued to the screen. ;)
Man. The future was so bright for space travel back then. Then Challenger happened 5 years later and everything ended. :(
I thought we were around the same age, Dez. Haha!
Ooh, I guess I am a few years younger, then. Oh well
You guys need to stop trying to make me feel old.
I’m the oldest among all my IRL friends, so when they have birthdays or something they’d sometimes say “oh no, I feel old, oh well at not as old as Maxim HAHAHAHA!!”
Story of my life…
Suddenly I feel so young……born in 1989……This is a pretty good up to date kind of comic.
This should make you feel younger…
When I was a kid, things like mobile phones were rarely seen even in science fiction stories and they sure didn’t exist outside of car-phones that rich people owned.
Same here. I don’t think you’re older than me. ;)
Or if you are, you’re probably not by much.
One of my early jobs after I finished Year 10 at school was replacing old computer punch-cards and organising them for the room sized computers back in the late 70s.
Ok, you win. I was born in the late 70s. I’m not used to meet people older than me online… :)
The internet is at least 70% teenagers and uni students.
The proportion of 40+ types is significantly less… but they do occur.
Doesn’t count me though. I’m early 80s generation.
Hell, you’re all making me feel like an infant. Sleep should restore my usual cocksure confidence.
Maybe if I say I’m going to sleep enough times, I’ll convince myself… Or, more likely, I’ll run out of archive to read.
Archive ain’t that long, son.
This ain’t Sluggy Freelance either.
I don’t remember seeing cell phones in elementary school back in the days. I wonder if it actually ever happened what you portrayed here.
Kids texting their parents? It probably happens all the time now.
It does. It weirds me out too, and I was only born in ’95.
Kids under 12 having their own phones, let alone tablets and other electronics, is odd to me.
It’s the FUTURE.
I just realized Gaia was actually older than you. (design-wise I mean)
Not exactly difficult. I’ve been using the Internet about as long as Disloyal has been on the planet.
You kids with your technology and your myface.
I’m channeling my old age into my young characters. I shouldn’t do that.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a Porn themed comic? I recall a mention of that somewhere…
Shar’s right. While I didn’t actually expect any pr0n, this is strip #69 and you said…
You guys.
But… but… You said… DX
Just gonna say, your avatar fits that comment perfectly. xD
To be fair, we don’t know what’s happening in those bushes in the background.
Not to nitpick, but shouldn’t Mimi be saying “we’re not strangers”? Sounds more natural.
Maybe…. I’m too lazy to change it at this point, though…
We are living in the future.
“the first news you remember watching”…
Pbbblt.
The first news i remember -hearing- was from Edward R. Murrow. With the sign-off, “Hear Murrow… Tomorrow!”
TV? On Saturdays my dad would take me to the furniture store where they had a TV in the window so I could watch Commando Cody. To this day, “This is Baylor, reporting from Earth” still sends chills down my spine.
The face of the future is Mimi’s daughter, with an implanted AI that tells her everything that she is supposed to know.
