Comic Transcript

ALEX: I don't see the problem here.

CUSTOMER: Look. We give our employees 3 weeks of paid vacation time each year. When the 2000 rolls around, UberStub(TM) assumes, for some reason, that each employee has been with the company since the year 1900. So that's 300 weeks of unpaid vacation time for every employee in our company.

(Pause.)

ALEX: You get 3 weeks paid vacation?

CUSTOMER: That's not the POINT.

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?"
