Drive

Today I went over to Hawthorne to restock on heartworm medicine for Buster and Gracie. On the way back, I decided to stop at Target to get Civilization V. I didn't see it at first, and when I did I found that the in-store version requires a DVD drive, which I do not have on my computer. (CD, yes; DVD, no.)

I have three options: to forget about it; to download it (over a dial-up connection....) or to get a DVD drive. The last seems the most palatable. Does anyone have any suggestions as to brand, or other comments?

Minmax Problem

I have to say, after the last few strips, I'm actually proud of the guy.

The linguist in me is convinced that he must speak a dialect with the PIN/PEN merger.
