The scan above was taken from a Czechoslovakian MENSA magazine, where a few PC Weenies comics ran back in 2000. This is significant to me, in that it was the first time my comics were translated into another language. (Click on the image above to see the full-sized version.)

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.
