''Compu-toon'' comics consist of a single panel and have a surrealist quality about them that has been described as "baffling and not exactly funny but the cartoonist seems too sincere about his mission to really mock". Strips usually contain a normal situation with a non sequitur that is tangentially related to computers or technology.
