The world's first web comics were made on these:
Before the World Wide Web, there was the Commodore 64 and General Electric's GEnie network.
And one of the first web comics was a fart joke.
"T.H.E. Fox" started in 1986. Every week, Joe would draw one panel and share it on GEnie.
Other comics, like Eric Millikin's "Wizard of Oz" parody (1985) were shared on CompuServe.
"Where The Buffalo Roam" (1991) was the first online comic about college life.
Then came the first days of the World Wide Web.
This is what the internet seemed like to most people:
Unlike now, the 90's internet was a specialist's playground. You had to tattoo "LINUX IS PHAT + RULEZ" on your flesh, or something.
"Jerk City" (1998) was a big deal in IRC chat rooms.
People said "nuwbie" and "flame war." The Bible promised that the geeks shall inherit the earth.
Online dating and forums were kind of scandalous.
There were enough PhD students online to make a popular web comic about their lives.
Spice Girls was a thing.
The Early Internet: when nerds ran the roost and your mom totally couldn't see drunk photos of you on Facebook.
