    I’ll be honest. I expected the first two strips to do the story thus far and the rest of the strips in the week being about trying to force the game store to take the Virtual Boy back.

    Do it, Jenny. It’s only a $99 loss, but it’ll save many, many more.

    “Early adopter”

    Sorry Michelle, you’ll have to wait a couple decades for consumer tech to deliver the kind of VR experience you’re dreaming of.

    It was impressive for the time, technically. But the red-on-black gets old FAST.

    @El-Man: Don’t jinx it…from the looks of things, Jenny’s inability to understand the concept of consequences extends into “you break it, you bought it” too.

    @Red Rain: Absolutely.

    @Jim: Well to be fair, apart from the “Sunday”/Wednesday comics, the entire comic is always presented in black and white.

    And, thus, Gunpey Yokoi was snubbed by the biggest geek in all of rural Minnesota. No WONDER someone ran him over a year later. 🙁

    Wait… an actual screenshot for the third panel?
    I was wondering how the illustrated take on the Virtual Boy would’ve looked like.

    Also, 23 OREOS!? No wonder she got that gut. That and drinking milk so late at night.
    Does this include the time her mom bought those tons of purchases, including several Oreo boxes?

    It’s OK,Michelle,the N64 will compensate. *Oh boy*,will it compensate when you get to play Zelda in 3d.

    Yeah, the Red and Black was the worst part of the Virtual Boy.

    I believe this is the denial stage of grief.
