Computers are amazing all-purpose devices. Maybe a little too all-purpose.
Anyways, if you want to try out an electronic kanji dictionary I suggest http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/. It’s free, easy to use and has an excellent database of both common and uncommon kanji. It’s my go-to resource when I need to translate something. Why not grab a kanji from a previous strip and see if you can find it?
