Comic Transcript

INFOTHUD: Despite my best attempts, I just can't find a way to make your product win. I'm going to have to give the award to your competitor.

ALEX: I'm afraid you won't be able to do that.

ALEX: You see, when Biff-Scabies (tm), your parent company, asked us to provide you with an evaluation copy of our software, they were required to sign a non-disclosure contract in order to protect our intellectual property. You can't discuss any features which are inferior to a competing product, which means your article will only cover areas where our product is better.

INFOTHUD: This review will be painfully short.

ALEX: I'll send an email to Marketing. They can probably send you a double-page glossy color ad that will fill that empty space quite nicely.
