1984, this comic is. By that time we had the 80286 in full swing, with the 80386 waiting in the wings for the very next year.
Also, the 8088 was actually only kinda 16-bit. it used an 8-bit bus to talk to memory and other things, while internally it ran at 16-bit. SO, yes, it was definitely El Stinko!
