As I was looking through old files for the Steve Jobs related posts over the last few days I found 5 single panel comics that I had done that seems to have been lost to time. I don’t when I made these, but they seem to no longer be posted anywhere on cheesegod.com.
Here for your enjoyment or disappointment, but not your basement, are the five comics:
Man, so many of these people are dead now… Saddam Hussein, Steve Jobs, Coloneal Sanders and of course Crazy Bob… so sad.
In honor of Steve Jobs, we will be reposting 5 Apple related posts to cheesegod.com. What better way to mourn than to make fun of their life’s work?

This may be from over 6 years ago, but many people are saying this a problem with the iPhone 4s. It doesn’t look any different than the iPhone 4, how will anyone know who’s cooler. I wonder if Steve Jobs was the CEO at the time if he would of let this happen. They could have at least introduced a different color or finish.
While most of us don’t really know Steve Jobs personally or otherwise there is no doubt he has impacted all of our lives. iTunes completely reformed the music industry after Napster killed it. The iPod changed the way we listen to music (although with low bitrate encoded mp3s/aac files the norm I might argue for the worse). iPhones changed the way we access information. Even if you don’t an iPhone, whatever phone you do own is most likely either trying to emulate what the iPhone does or beat it.
Steve Jobs could very well had the biggest impact on the lives of this generation more than any other person.
Plus he helped create Pixar, so without him we wouldn’t have Wall-E, think about that.

The world’s oldest iPod has died at the age of 2. It’s owner, George Flippant, 12 of Newark, New Jersey, hobbies include fishing and fragging, his favorite Backstreet boy is the one with the hair, was deeply saddened by the unfortunate turn of events.
The iPod more than outlived it’s life expectancy of 366 days (1 day longer than the included warranty) by a full year. Many marveled at the ancient technology of the iPod with it’s old school tech wheel and all.
“The wheel in the click wheel actually turned instead of staying stationary. It’s so 2002,” Flippant’s 8 year old neighbor Alexander Beef told us when we were able to distract him from his new triple screen GameBoy.
The elder iPod’s life ended abruptly when it was dropped on Flippant’s kitchen floor.
“It all happened so fast,” Flippant told us, telling us the events of the iPod’s demise, “One minute I was dancing to the new Eminem song with the iPod in my hand. I was pretending to be one of those silhouette people like in the commercials. Then the next minute the iPod has flown out of my hand and is crashing into a million pieces after hitting the floor.”
Most iPods die of bad batteries, hard drive failure, or depression of a crappy music library. Not everyone believes Flippant’s story.
“He just broke it cause he wanted a new one for christmas,” George Flippant’s sister Georgia told us, “He’s always doing stuff like that. He always get’s it too. Like that time he broke his arm and Mom took him out of school for two days. He was so faking it.”
The police will not say if they’re willing to rule out foul play yet.
“What the hell do I care what happened to some kid’s walkman,” Tony Putz, chief of police, told us.
Meanwhile George does indeed plan to ask for another iPod this christmas.
“They’re so cool. They’re just like old iPods but they can display photos! And they’re only $600!”

The picture in this story is my actual iPod that I had just broken on the kitchen floor. I miss that guy.
There’s also a sidejab at the just announced Nintendo DS in this story, helps set the time period.
