Elephant Town Chapter 5 (pages 8-11)
Added 2020-12-14 06:13:40 +0000 UTC
Welcome to Elephant Town, the comic that spends two pages reminding you how annoying it is when the internet won't work.
(Everyone has one of these giant boxes full of wires and tech stuff, right?)
In case you're scratching your head about why Kris is dreaming of curtains and shuddering at the thought of a silhouette behind a window, here's a link to some of her old pages that might help jog your memory! It's from way back in MAY, which in 2020 years is about a decade.
This story is gonna be SO much easier to follow when it's printed in a book!

Thank you! (Based on a true story, the story of me keeping every twist-tie that enters my home.)

2020-12-15 05:19:19 +0000 UTCThe curtains were the FIRST thing I worried about when we moved into our new house, since the prior owners took them all (even the curtain rods!!). Luckily, we got in the habit of moving over the course of a month-ish rather than all at once, since we haven't moved more than a city or two away, so we could manage things like that. Took a few attempts to find rods and curtains we liked, but it was worth it! My spouse still calls them blinds, though (???)

2020-12-14 15:44:08 +0000 UTCI don't know about everyone, but I certainly have such a box! Oh, and I've got a database -- ok, spreadsheet -- of all the wall warts.

2020-12-14 14:58:35 +0000 UTCI have a box for each cable type (network, usb, video, disk, async, everything else) and one or two for adapters. (And another two for random wall warts.)

2020-12-14 14:13:54 +0000 UTCI've got an old Rubbermaid tub with cables and power cords and such. However, whenever I need a specific thing it's rare that I actually find it! Must be tech gremlins. Or my cat.
