Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The most recent time I had to get into someone else's laptop, it was an adorable little relic I bought at a flea market.
Windows 95 does its charming start-up routine and I'm presented with a login prompt. I start working through how I'm going to boot something else to modify the registry or whatever, when the machine predates USB drives and my desktop has no floppy drive. Then I bet I can invoke "safe mode" and use the underlying DOS install to edit anything I want. Then I remember there's some labyrinthine info > accessibility > help > control-panel > run-dialog chain that lets you start explorer.exe directly. Finally, within maybe thirty seconds of being surprised this thing even has accounts to log into, I slap my forehead and just hit Escape.
I'm in.
