Dudley kneels in a basement laundry room using blue painter's tape to outline a rectangle on the floor beside a washer-dryer combo unit. Sylvia stands nearby with folded arms and a skeptical expression. Dudley claims it is a "visualization exercise" for "future organization," while a magazine featuring a server rack and a box labeled "Rack Gear" hint at his true intentions. 😄

After replacing the washer and dryer with a compact combo unit, Dudley begins marking off a section of floor space in the basement.

He insists it’s just a visualization exercise for future organization.

Sylvia remains unconvinced.

Dudley insists the old washer and dryer both broke at the same time. Fortunately, he found an efficient all-in-one replacement on sale.

Dudley is eager to share with Sylvia his idea for a home AI system.

Sylvia is less interested in the AI than where he plans to put it.

Welcome to Dudley & Sylvia, a comic strip about technology, relationships, and the unintended consequences of enthusiasm.

Meet Dudley.

Dudley has just read an article in AI for the Average Guy and is convinced the future has arrived.

Meet Sylvia.

Sylvia has heard this speech before.

Many times.

What could possibly go wrong?

Dudley & Sylvia follows a husband, a wife, a basement workshop, and an endless supply of ideas that seemed much better five minutes earlier.

Thanks for reading. This is where it all begins.
