Internet comic strips

I think the Internet is a great place for comics. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't.

But back in the day I did get tired of Internet comics that reflected what I thought of, at the time, as the superior attitudes of some tech geeks. I think of myself as more of a book geek, and I always figured we geeks should stick together, but, well, in the late 1990s I was starting to hear a lot of jokes about liberal arts majors that ended in "would you like fries with that?"

This is not something I run into much now. I'm happy to say, too, that I have not served anyone French fries in many years.
