Ok is this suppose to be funny? And are you basing the ranks off the US Navy?

Because the Navy's Captain rank is O6 and in the other branches it's O3.

  Waxley is being awkward. That's the joke.
  
  Ranks are based off of traditional British and American Naval ranks in the comic, yes. The Captain/Captain thing is real (and has nothing to do with the differently titled officer ranks in the Army) – while Captain is a rank, if, say, a Commander is the commanding officer of a ship, they (at least historically) can be referred to as the ship's Captain even though they don't hold the rank which has the same title.

I Think We Have Reached Peak Cyberpunk Desk ( September 16th 2017 )

One of the biggest challenges in moving was relocating my workspace. I spend a lot of time in my home office, since I work from home for the "corporate America job I'll never mention on my website," use this as my recording studio, produce all my comics from here, and do all of my Nerd & Tie stuff. It's been a while since I shared the evolution of what I refer to as my "cyberpunk" desk, so I thought I'd update you with the current iteration.

The first three photos are from 2010, 2012, and 2014 respectively, but it was a lot more complex before we left Lafayette. The "day job" system went from one to three screens recently though, so I had to scramble a bit for space. There are three main computers here, the company owned Windows 7 system, my main system (a five year old MacBook Pro), and my Linux machine. There's also a Windows 95 laptop running the clock, a Kindle Fire for streaming media while I work, and the Commodore monitor can be switched between multiple devices (including a 3DO and TV tuner). That's not to mention my iPad, the other Kindle Fire (which I use for reading), or the recording equipment.

And the mini fridge is full of Diet Coke.

I used to joke about having a "cyberpunk" desk when I only had three screens going, but that just seems so quaint nowadays. I used to say I'd never have enough screens -- but guess what? I kind of think I do now.
