these are cool.  I like the style of 90's hand drawn art.

At first I thought it was for the ComputerCity down at the mall by the interstate. They sold Macs, too, and had a service bureau for film.
Just out of curiosity, did you used to live around here? I worked catywampus across the street at the Maitland Avenue intersection at Florida Software Services (711 Building) which in the early 90s had become Kirchman Corp.
Work is the curse of the drinking class . . .

I get a sense of R. Crumb in your cartoons... (just a little mind you)

Zap Comics came out when I was in high school, they weren't my father's comics, LOL. I bet Frog knows what I mean...

Very nice drawings but they also make me laugh because of the computer specs.  I thought I had something when I had a computer like that in the past.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

It was HILARIOUS: they had a voice-over man imitating the Terminator saying these lines on the radio! Everytime I went there the store was packed!
I don't remember- but a partner or their accountant stole funds- and the store went under after 2 6 months......

The Mac Plus I learned on had 1 MB of RAM, and an external 20 MB hard drive, that cost over $600 in 1990. Floppy drive or could add some extra drives (SCSI) and a 9" Black and White screen, no gray or color. I figured out how to upgrade it to 4MB of RAM, it really screamed then, let me tell ya...

Actually, if your father was into comics at all, that "pre comics code" stuff was pretty heavy in its own right!
As our comic fan-boy Mad knows well, some of the covers are classic!
