Bowser - The platformers. In his first appearance, Bowser appeared at the end of every fourth level. Invariably, these areas were "dungeon stages" — characterized by white brick platforms, ample lava and spinning sticks of fire that could burn Mario or Luigi. Bowser waited at the end, on a bridge over a pool of lava. By grabbing the axe at the right end of the bridge, Mario or Luigi could cut the rope at the end, somehow making the bridge collapse and send Bowser into the pit of lava below. Alternatively, Bowse ...

The first computer to appear in the FoxTrot strip was an old Apple II used mostly by Jason to play "Star Trek" video games. By 1991, Andy bought a new computer which although not specifically named, was probably a Mac Classic II from the design and the time. The next computer "upgrade" is silent; there are no strips referring to the family buying a new computer. It is probably a Power Mac of some sort, modular, with a CPU and a monitor, and is "three years old" by the time the family opts for a new one. Again, this computer is not named, but many strips ref ...
