Comics by topic

All 82 comics, sorted by what they're about. Some fit more than one.

• Working From Home

  15 comics

  Randall works from home, so I get a front-row seat to the energy drinks, the anime "breaks" and the APIs he watches from the floor. He says it's all part of the process.

• Programmer Logic

  15 comics

  Randall's brain runs on logic, so joggers running in place, whole numbers and "head over heels" all get a bug report. These are the times his computery mind met real life.

• Out in the Real World

  15 comics

  I don't take Randall out into the real world very often, and these comics are why. Apple stores, haystacks and Doritos have all been a lot for him.

• Dating and Marriage

  18 comics

  I took a high school networking class just to be near my crush (now husband), and he still writes <3 in my cards. This is what love looks like when your husband wanted a LAN party wedding.

• Gaming

  6 comics

  I like games. Randall can stop gaming about as well as he can stop drinking caffeine. These are the comics where Steam and Warcraft came between us, and sometimes brought us together.

• Holidays and Birthdays

  8 comics

  I get very excited about holidays. Randall gets excited about random number generators and Raspberry Pis. This is Thanksgiving, Christmas and my birthday at our house.

• Hacker Culture

  11 comics

  Black hats, IRC handles, DEFCON and a closet of identical black T-shirts: welcome to my husband's world. I'm still learning the rules, but I know Comic Sans is not allowed.

• The Non-Techie Wife

  12 comics

  I'm not a programmer, but I married one, so I know what a ping is and I still don't know what memcached is. These are the comics about being the one who asks, "What does that mean?"
