    What's userfriendly?

    A super-early webcomic about programmers working in IT~

    Drew "by super early I mean 90s" Nilium

    Oh, that sounds fun. Is it still up?

    It looks like it finally went down in 2022. (Considering it had
    basically stopped running new strips by 2010, that's impressive.) It
    looks like someone uploaded the whole thing to the Internet Archive,
    tho: https://archive.org/details/user-friendly-comic

    ... Oh, my. The Internet Archive might solve a problem I have, about
    the legacy of Powernaut Comics (and ideally its associated stories).
    I've made contact. Now... will they accept my PHP pages? Powernaut
    Comics don't have those, but they link to pages which do. 8{O>
