The story so far......
In 1989, when I was involved in producing the Capital District Computer Mart. I was starved for regular features; I wanted something that would fill one page -- no more, no less. Right around that time some of the first computer produced comic books were appearing, so I was inspired to try something in a similar vein. Since the intent of CDCM was to serve the hobbyist market (rather than the comp-sci or business market), then I wanted the strip to be inspirational, to say to the reader, gee, I could do this too (thus helping the advertisers sell entry-level systems).
All of the strips were produced on 512k, 8Mhz
machines (Atari 512st's -- click here

software, primitive CAD programs, et cetera. Your mileage may
vary.
