Browsing old computer magazines on archive.org is a lot of fun, but sometimes those adverts...

Five panel mostly 1 bit black and white comic titled "Viz! 'Man Enough' #7"
Characters:
Viz: A bunny-eared girl with a fox muzzle and thick black stripes down her ears and nose. The nose stripe has a white chevron on her forehead. She has long black and white hair.
Kai: A collie guy with black and white hair and lots of earings, so many his left ear flops down! He has visible scars from trans masc top surgery
Bug: A 6502 CPU that was brought to life. They have antennae and sleep a lot
Panel 1: A white paw knocks on a door
Panel 2: Kai is standing in the opened door, waving, he has a guitar case slung over his back, and Viz is greeting him
Kai: "Heya Viz!"
Viz: "Kai! Midi's not back yet, but all the old magazines I ordered came, wanna see?"
Kai: "Sure!"
Panel 3: Kai and Viz kneel next to a cardboard box of comics in Viz's room, Viz is showing Kai a magazine with "Games" on the cover. Her bookcase holds various books and computers, and tea
and biscuits sit on a plate at the bottom.
Kai's guitar case and an old computer lean up against it. Bug sleeps on Viz's computer desk. Behind her, there's a Very Fast Dragons poster with a silly looking sleeping dragon on.
Kai: "The adverts back then really were something..."
Panel 4: An extremely 90s game advert: the page reads "Are you man enough" in all caps around a cover for a game called "Manblokeguychapbro Dude 3D". The Titular character is a chiseled-
jawed dog of some kinda in a vest, showing off his improbable abs, and pointing a very silly 3 barrelled pistol just off screen. Around the cover is an "Is your PC Man Enough?" section,
giving the requirements for a Penguinium 66 and 8MB RAM, and "Hungry for more? Check out MD's six pack 6 new levels!!! Call 01933666" Above a picture of a floppy disk labelled "MD6"
Panel 5:
Kai and Viz are looking toward each other in front of the book case, upon which can now be seen a little pot with a progress pride flag, and a trans flag, both in colour. Kai is laughing,
and Viz grinning impishly.
Viz: "I don't think it's in the way they meant, but I'll say..."
Kai and Viz: "Yep, we are!"
Across the bottom border I've written "blinkin 'eck, this was a lot of drawing". Because it was! Almost as much as this was alt text! Sorry about that...
Some empty space in the layout is taken up with random stuff from the comic. An exclamation point that looks like Viz's ear, Midi's necklace, bug, a bunny plush, a floppy and a box labelled
"stuff to fill empty space"
