Old-school Nerdy Comics

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unleash-the-power-of-tandy dept.

savetz writes "20 years before User Friendly, Doctor Fun, and Dilbert, about the only place a geek could go for a fix of nerdy comic goodness was ... Radio Shack. Tandy Computer Whiz Kids was a comic book series that was distributed for free at Radio Shack stores. It featured overeager kids stopping bad guys with their TRS-80s and acoustic modems, sweetly naive information about computers, and constant shilling of Radio Shack products. They're now on the Web."

    I run a comic called Banana Chan. It's not nerdy...yet...but I had to mention it.
