Growing up, I shamefully used to really like Garfield when I was dumb and in like third grade. Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking, as Garfield is hot garbage. Although there is one Garfield book that I still think is fairly cool, and it's this one:
I used to love Garfield when I was really young too. I think I'd been reading Garfield books for about two years before I suddenly noticed that all of Garfield's words were in thought bubbles, and he wasn't really talking at all, and I think it made me a bit upset.

peep the logo over at https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/



quote:

About the logo

Why is the logo depicting a pair of copulating turtles?

Ask ams@gnu.org.

What is the name of the turtles?

They are called Fred and George. And yes, they are both male.

still better than the flute playing bison imo

Edit:

now that i think about it
it does kind of make sense
why would you need a text flat file database editor
i bet it's as slow and unproductive as two male turtles going at it

LCD screens are hard to get in small quantities and used GBAs are cheap, have a backlight and serial io built in.

apparently it was pretty common to use repurposed game boys (right back to the first one) in low-run expensive special-purpose hardware, because it was a cheap way to get a known-working LCD and microcontroller with a well-documented programming interface

people do the same kind of thing today, too. a ton of short-run internet-enabled products (think: those wifi dog prisons, app-connected "honesty markets", etc) just have a raspberry pi and an android tablet crammed inside somewhere
