I have the new system up and running and fully capable of work, and I knocked out a bit of it today, to make up for what I intended to do yesterday. 

The files to make up the end of "Offline" and the first page of "Normal Perverts" are compressed, and on better, higher resolution monitors, you will notice the difference. But it's all I can do for now without completely re-doing those three pages, which is roughly a week of work without getting much else done. If I can eventually recover data from my prior computer, I will update the comics with the higher quality .jpgs.

I ordered the extra special screwdriver set required to open up my old laptop (because of course you need them, how can it be any other way?). I'm going to open it and survey and see what I can do with the HD inside. However, looking up the model, it's one of those where Apple decided to solder the titty-fucking SSD to the board. So even if I can get to it, I'm not sure I can get anything off of it, even with something that can read from a PCIe SSD. The old laptop is just refusing to turn on, all together, so any option that requires power to the old computer isn't possible.

Nonetheless, work proceeds.

Hang in there Jay! Sending you good karma~

Yep I’ll be fine that it’s not completely lost. Darn it Apple

I’d recommend hitting up the Rossmann Repair Group in NYC. They focus nearly, if not completely exclusively on Apple hardware, and might be able to help you out. Odds are you only shorted out a couple things that they’ll be able to replace and get your machine running again. They’ve got a YouTube channel if you’d like to check them out first. I am not affiliated with the Rossmann group in any way. I’ve just had hardware fixed by them in the past.

Good luck with that Jay. Good thing you didn't lose much.

Brooke looks like she's enjoying a normal relationship so far.

Goodluck with the SSD, man.

And this is another reason why FUCK APPLE.

Depending on the model of your Mac you may need a special enclosure even if the SSD is detachable. The 2015 MBP f.ex. The pinout on the SSD is Apple-specific. OWC has a specific enclosure for that. A few minutes of googling should point you in the right direction.

The mounting of more components on the motherboard of laptops is to decrease manufacturing costs, at the expense of repairability. Now days things aren't really made to be repaired, but rather replaced. Good that you had everything backed up, it just goes to show. A good data recovery service may be able to get what's on the drive, if the drive is still functional. I'm sending happy thoughts your way.

Have you tried resetting the SMC after a few days of dry time? Apples have built in breakers that are supposed to help prevent a total loss due to a short. The HDD should be fine even with the water damage, but it may need some TLC from you to get it to boot. To reset the SMC press the SHIFT, CTRL, OPTION, and Power button at the same time with the unit plugged in. If you did it correctly your MagSafe plug should shift colour, indicating a reset, then return to normal (green to amber to green).

Might wanna give the Louis Rossman a try. He runs a computer repair shop in New York and has an ongoing feud with Apple. If anybody has a chance of recovering your data it's him. His YouTube channel has a bunch of videos detailing repairs as well
