Endorsements

"Desperately Unfunny."

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
