    I draw a webcomic that takes place in a research facility called LABS.  A couple months back I did a short story about email and tech support. I thought folks here might like it.

    Part one

    Part two

    Part three

     

    (I hope posting this here is ok, I didn’t see anything in the rules against it.)

      We now return to tech support for some advice regarding a “Crashing Computer”.

        Aaron, did you try to set up a too long stretch of active hours on your computers? 😉

        Georgia sounds like a guy I used to work with. He somehow got an A+ certification, but I have no idea how, because he literally knew nothing about computers.

      Also, I wanted to take this chance to mention that LABS will be ending July 24th. There’s more about that here: http://LABScomic.com/LABSmessage.php

      Thank you for all great response these comics got here on AskWoody!

        Well, it’s been a while coming, but I do have a new project. 🙂

          Always enjoyed LABS- so look forward to your new project.

          So fun! At the bottom there are random cartoons to click on… a nice break when things are getting a bit too serious.

          Thank you for not letting the Fugitive Ink Comic Universe from getting away from us!
