The PC Weenies ran under the title “Circuits Maximus” within the pages of EE Times. The strip ran for a year and a half, starting in late 2003. The PCW comics featured in EE Times were even more slanted towards electrical and electronics engineering -and many of the strips were originals, exclusively created for the magazine.

A look back at PCW history continues. A few months after I started publishing the PC Weenies online, The Orlando Sentinel newspaper tracked me down. I was interviewed for an article which ran on February 27, 1999. Click on the article to see the larger version. (Apologies if the scan is choppy, it’s the only copy I have.)
Looking back at that particular time in my life, I (and several others) had just received our layoff notices from our company, and I was in “job search” mode. During that time, I shopped the comic around to a few websites and convinced my way onto the pages of C|Net.
Surprisingly, if you do a search on C|Net’s news.com, you can still see the four PC Weenies comics that were published.
