About this comic
This comic is a humorous nod to the frustration of navigating modern software, mixed with a nostalgic farewell to Microsoft Clip Art. It features a character frantically searching online for how to find the elusive “Print Preview” function in various programs, a relatable struggle for many users. The screens in the background show a chaotic mix of search results and document tabs, emphasizing the confusion of a task that should be simple. The tagline, “RIP, Microsoft Clip Art (1993 to 2014),” adds a nostalgic twist, bidding farewell to a once-beloved tool that symbolized simplicity in design.
The joke lies in contrasting the simplicity of the past, represented by Clip Art, with the complexity of modern software, where even basic functions like Print Preview require a search engine. It’s a playful commentary on how technology, while advancing, sometimes makes us yearn for the intuitive tools of earlier days.
