M. R. SellarsHamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage, the final toon…
Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – A number of months after I went to work for the new company they started a division that ran an internet service provider, site host, and access point service. In addition to my duties as a bench tech, I was charged with running and maintaining those servers and dialup accounts (Yeah, dialup… We had ISDN pipes from bigger clients too, but this was pre-DSL)… And so came this cartoon of Merp surfing the web. This was in the early days of the “Virtual” world, and just for fun, Merp is wearing his VR Goggles, VR Gloves, and riding his virtual surfboard in an oddly “STTNG Holodeck” sort of room.
And there you have it. The only 8 Merp The Tech Hamster toons still in existence – to my knowledge, at least.
Maybe I need to start a new chapter… “Merp The Author Hamster and his Sidekick/Owner Ex-Nuclear Physicist Turned Dominatrix, Evil Kat”…
More to come…
Murv (aka Merp!)

Make sure you draw Merp with one of his amazing aluminum foil hats. 😉 The bishop’s mitre is awesome! And Satan must be cowering in a corner. Hey, can Merp be the tech author hamster?

LOL! I’ll give it a try. As soon as I meet the current deadline I’ll try my hand at sketching the little rodent again. 🙂
