I’m gonna jump in early with … Are you Bloom County’s Oliver Wendell Jones?

243

That’d be my guess.

Buck, you’ve handled your first hosting duty very well! Congrats.

244

Yup, The young genius, proto hacker and breaker or racial stereotypes.

Well done ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness

I was hoping to use Opus as a more salient defensive shield, but once you get the time period, medium and ethnicity there ain’t a whole lot of other options.

245

80s comic strip to me pretty much means Bloom County, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes. No recurring characters in Far Side and a minimal cast, as befits a 6-year-old’s world view, in C&H.

Great job on your first game hosting!
