not funny. It's as if the author is just now taking OS classes and learning about PCs and thought he could work it into his strip.

Why would an OS kernel hate popcorn kernels?

Would make more sense if the compter was made at the guy for eating kernels or something.. but for having them enar the computer? *shrug*

awwww mr grumpy pants... Never had to come up with a new strip idea that has not been played for 365 days a year for years. You win some, you lose some. It is amusing, but not funny. Mission accomplished. Move along. ;)

That cartoon brought me back to when we used Unix machines. Sometimes the OS would crash with a "DOUBLE PANIC" error message.

It's a bowl full of popped kernels. Like a kernel graveyard. It would be like a polar bear eating a bowl full of human babies in front of you. At least I believe that is what the joke is hinting at. And then he dropped one of the corpses on the keyboard.
