"I don't know why the laptop is malfunctioning"

Forty PUPs and a keylogger, cat piss all over the keys and a cake of fur and dust blocking the air vent. Also the charge cord is frayed.

After one accident long ago, I have a policy of all drinks on the right, on a lower level than the electronics. I've splashed a few keyboards & mice, but never again a computer.

One accident recently not long ago I have a policy to try to not leave liquids close to my keyboard or other electronics unattended(cat decided she wanted some water not from her water dish and decided my 200€ keyboard is here preferred vessel for water)

The art style, colour style, and character design is something I'd love to see animated.

Absolutely love looking at these for the style, colour choices, and characters.
