Why would, in this day and age, a porn star as big as Zig Zag - one who runs her own studio - neither know how to work e-mail◊ nor know about the internet?
Zig Zag didn't have a public education or a home computer - the two big ways people become acclimatized to them. If she hadn't learned about them as a child, why would she spend time "catching up" as an adult when she could pass off all that "hard stuff" to a co-worker and spend her work time generating new material to sell?
Why would she spend the time? Because her business is porn and nowadays much, if not most, of her profits are going to be coming from digital media, that's why. It surely wouldn't be expected of her to be a wizard at Dreamweaver or Adobe Premier, but that "Grandma's first PC"-level ignorance stretches credulity. If she were just a porn star, that'd be one thing (still stretching things, but not too far). But she's the boss of her own studio.
And in universe time it has only been at most 5 years since the start of the comic to the end, even though technology and references keep up with the real world.
No kid allowed!
Once Zig Zag let Sabrina bring a pair of children to the studio for the day (don't worry, it was child-proofed). It might only be a webcomic but there's no way that wouldn't get Zig and Sabrina in seriously hot water.
It would have done, if someone complained. Luckily they didn't. It's already been shown that she's got an excellent and loyal team behind her.
Ohio's Legalities and Porn
Is producing porn even legal in Cincinnati?
Is it illegal anywhere in the states? It's not like it's prostitution.
It's explicitly illegal in several states (i.e. in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi), including Ohio. That said, there aren't a whole lot of anthropomorphic skunks or sentient Transformer toys running around either, so some suspension of disbelief may be warranted.
And they had to drive an hour to get to Cincinnati.
Gamer Geeks and the Atari
A gamer geek like Richard has no idea what an Atari 2600 is? Not "didn't know what one actually looked like." Not "Never saw one in person." "Had no idea what he was looking at." There were eight-year olds on Kids React who recognized it.
The webcomic debuted (in 1996) after the Atari 2600 was discontinued (which was in 1991), so, odds are, in-universe, it faded into obscurity by the time that Richard got into games.
◊ nor know about the internet?
