Hot Handset

Ghost Rider.
Sure, he may be a superhero, but he suffers the same technology issues as normal people.

Overheating handsets is nothing new. Older mobiles used to do it a lot. And the new smartphones of today have their own overheating problems too.
And there are many possible reasons why mobile phones / smartphones will overheat.
With all of the technology and components packed into these modern marvels, you have to expect some output to be undesirable.

So what are the reasons they overheat? They are many and varied. Experts & technicians will have a plethora of reason on why these devices may have temperature spikes at times. But I think that this response I found online is the best one ever, when addressing this issue:

Q: Why do cell phones overheat?
A: Because you use them to much.

Simple. ’nuff said.
If you have read this far, then you obviously have nothing better to do.
So, in that case, I will share something with you that I have just come to realise :
I have a sub-theme of comics developing, which depict Superheroes having issues with modern techology and adjusting to an online life.
Ok, so there are only six of them so far but I am sure there will be more to follow.

Wakka Leaks

Wakka Leaks published on 1 Comment on Wakka Leaks

Don’t listen to this guy.  He is such a muppet.

A lot of people have jumped onto the WikiLeaks bandwagon recently which inspired me to create and share this comic.
There is a lot of differing opinion on WikiLeaks,  both positive and negative. It is such a polarising media event, that the word”WikiLeaks” hasnow entered into the common  usage in everyday language.
That is pretty hard to do.

Personally, I support WikiLeaks. The site and what it stands for.
Not Julian Assange.
I can make a very clear distinction between the two, which (unfortunately) many others cannot do.
Julian has become part of the equation,which I feel gives the non-supporters more ammunition to work with, in order to bring down WikiLeaks.
This is not right, in my opinion,  as I feel that the information released through the site is vital in this day and age.
The public should be kept informed about the decisions and deals that our government,or the military, make on our behalf.

If WikiLeaks is ever shutdown or banned, it will be a great shame.
But I take comfort in knowing that if the death of WikiLeaks occurred, numerous smaller sites would pop-up right away, to fill the void.

After all, the internet is the “information superhighway” and the Truth should always be out there.

Past Christmas

Past Christmas published on 3 Comments on Past Christmas

I was inspired to do this comic after seeing “A Christmas Carol” on TV, (played  too many times during Christmas Day), as well as the people moaning on twitter & facebook, about the crap presents they  recieved.

I imagined what it would be like if you got the Christmas presents you really wanted 15 or 20 years ago, but they only arrived today.
Even thought you really wanted them at the time, you would probably think they are the most crappy gifts ever now.
This is because advertising media tells you about a brand new something every day, that you really want, but did not know you wanted.

We all know that Christmas is a commercial holiday these days, just like Easter and Valentines Day.
Their original meanings are lost, obscured and obfuscated under piles of consumer messaging.

But if the thing you wanted was something that you REALLY wanted, you would still love it, even if it turned up many years later.
(Yes, I am thinking about you, Thundercats Electronic Cats Lair, and also you, GREEDO…. )

Personally, I really hate the pressure that I feel around the holidays. Specifically, the pressure to purchase gifts for others.
You are expected to get a little something for others (and a bigger something for your close family), regardless of your personal inclinations or budget restraints.
And when people say “I don’t want anything this year’ they very rarely mean it. Instead, they expect you to truly think about a great gift to give them. Trust me – If you take them at their word and don’t get a gift for them, prepare to go into hiding for the next 12 months.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
