Calvin and Hobbes is the best, Bloom County might be second.

I have never understood the appeal of Dilbert.
see that sounds cool. I briefly looked at tablets and wonder if the screen would be too small. I'm fine using my phone when out and about or light browsing. I would prefer something with a bigger screen for at home stuff.
If it takes selling my soul to have guacamole, I'm seriously considering it...
All very good, but behind The Far Side for me - although technically not a strip but still a comic.
The Far Side would be third. Have you ever seen cartoons by a guy named B. Kliban?
You could get both. A Kindle Fire is pretty cheap and works decently. It doesn't do as much as my wife's iPad but it browses pretty well and has plenty of apps. I do agree with KC that the keyboard thing is an issue with tablets. For the laptop, you can get an external card or internal modem to use with cell service. I don't think the Kindle offers anything with cell service but if you'd want to use a tablet while travelling you should be able to use a phone or your laptop as a hot spot. I'd probably trust @cycloneG more than me though. He's the tech savvy one in these here parts.Probably should make a thread for this but I don't want to. In creating a list for DH of potential bday gift ideas, I was thinking about how my cheapy 5 year old laptop is probably due for a change and then got to thinking about what would be more useful with a kid around. I've never had a tablet so I'm probably going to ask dumb things like old people who are out of touch with technologySo like...........what is the advantage or disadvantage of a tablet? I mostly use my laptop for interneting and looking at pictures we take. I don't use it for games or......anything else I suppose. I do like being able to have a bunch of tabs open that I can flip between as I research things. Oh, can you read books on a tablet or do you need an ereader thingy?
DH said maybe something like a really thin laptop that can flip around to be used like a tablet? I don't even know what those are. Lol, I'm not even 30 and already unable to keep up with technology. My current laptop is definitely not super portable. I mean, it can move but as far as like easily move from room to room, it's like a 15 inch screen and IDK, a normal laptop weight, so much heavier than what I presume a tablet is.
One other thing to consider is that a lot of the laptops out there right now are Chromebooks and don't have much in the way of hard drive space if you want things stored on it.
I considered adding Far Side but went with the "not an actual comic strip" argument.
You can buy tablet covers for some tablets that have an integrated physical keyboard.
Have you ever worked in an office, particularly in a cubicle?
So you're naming the calf either Calvin or Susie?
yeah I don't store much of anything on our computer anymore beyond pictures, but even those can probably get migrated to DH's computer for the most part.
Whenever I want a healthy meal I think “Kowalski has a really good salad bar.” Then I go and spend $9 on it and think “well, at least it’s really good!” Then I eat it and think “that wasn’t worth $9.”
But this cycle on repeat like once a week.

What are we looking at here pops? Goats climbing a dam?
What is this, a picture for ants?
Goats on the side of a dam. Thought the image would be bigger. My question is...why would they want to go out there??
