It was easier to fold the original 8" floppies (and correspondingly harder to avoid kinking them).

And that's probably as close to a pregnancy arc as we'll ever see in QC. Jeph categorically ruled out any babies in his comic.

That is not categorical evidence. Faye says, "Maybe someday." That being said, I don't think Jeph would ever do a pregnancy arc. Way too stereotypical.
NilsO:
Read Jeph's comment below the comic. That's where he categorically says he will not have babies in his comics. Of course, he has every right to change his mind.

Obviously there's a big difference between a baby and a 13 y/o, but the introduction of Sam as a semi-regular character was pretty jarring. I mean, she serves a very specific function - either comic relief in a situation of otherwise-nigh-unbearable awkwardness, as in the hiking arc, or to show the stark difference in attitude toward children exhibited by Faye and Dora - but it was still weird to see anyone younger than college age playing a real role in the strip.

I remember a PC model with 2 floppy drives. In the bottom drive, the floppy had to be inserted upside down :parrot:
