Anyone know of any cartoons (available on tape and for rent/loan) that
portray difficulties people can have with computers?

Not on tape, but you could look at "The Cartoon Guide to Computer Science"
by Larry Gonick, Harper and Row, 1983, ISBN 0-06-460417-9.

Funny and largely accurate.

Some of the best I've seen were in a Gandalf calendar 2-3 years ago.
It has great drawings (communications related of course) of various
situations.

Worth seeking out - Nigel

There are many excellent cartoons in

"Computers for Beginners" by Errol Selkirk (Unwin paperbacks, 1986)

There is also "101 uses for a personal computer" but I don't have
the exact reference here.
