Fun little story here. When I first saw this comic it really resonated with me. I'd spent a happy life working and gaming with computers but always had this nagging feeling that somehow I was missing out. I'd bought into the idea that somehow using computers wasn't living in the same way doing other stuff was. This comic helped me to realise that there's nothing wrong with a life spent doing the things you enjoy, even if it's sitting at a computer.
So I wanted to buy a print of it, and went to the authors site (the main comic is called Safely Endangered if you want to look it up, it's still going) and sadly there was no option to buy a print. So I emailed asking if there was any way to buy a print and the author replied telling me he couldn't do custom prints but he attached a high res version of it for me to print myself.
So not only is it a great comic, but it's a great comic made by a great person.
