This gives me a chance to ask about a different webcomic that I read in the early 2000s, but have totally forgotten. It also took place at a small development company or ISP. There was a dog who was a system administrator, and he might have been in love with a cat? All the characters were animals, I think, and there were the usual 90s-early 00s Linux/Microsoft jokes.

- an_mp_speaks 5y agoThat's the one!
- yayachiken 5y agoBy the way, if you liked the old-school "ISP shenenigans and Unix jokes" web-comic genre, make sure to check out https://www.gpf-comics.com/ https://www.gpf-comics.com/ It's still going, IMO still not stale (without going into spoilers: the setting really helps), even though it is also scheduled to wind down (tying up all loose threads) in the next 1-2 years. As a teen I read web-comics like GPF, Userfriendly, Sluggy Freelance religiously, which really helped my English and my nerd career. Finding out about all those big web comics dying is the first time that I genuinely feel in my core that I am getting older... :(
- hkt 5y agoI feel older for the same reason - it sucks watching the internet of my youth slip away.
- kawsper 5y agoI used to read that when I was a child, I am glad it is still online. I am also happy that they managed to finish the story :)
- fluidcruft 5y agoOh... I remember that. What the heck was that...
- duskwuff 5y agoCould you be thinking of Kevin and Kell (https://www.kevinandkell.com/ https://www.kevinandkell.com/)? The species don't quite match up, but the general description and the time period do. (And it's still running daily strips, making it the longest-running web comic!)
- an_mp_speaks 5y agoThat's not it, as far as I can tell. The art in the comic I'm thinking of had something of an MS-Paint quality, and wasn't nearly as developed. But thanks for the guess! I've never heard of this one before.
- tentacleuno 5y agoMmm, have you got any more of these [pre-]2000's webcomics? I love them, they're like a snapshot of a totally different era.
- duskwuff 5y agoBetter yet, I've got a whole list of long-running webcomics: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WebcomicsLongRunners https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WebcomicsLongRun...
