Comic Transcript

ALEX: My boss has heard you're having problems with our new relationship-building initiative, and would lke to speak with you personally. I'm putting you on the speaker-phone...

BOSS: What seems to be the problem?

CUSTOMER: The problem is what YOU call a relationship-building initiative, I call 63,000 bugs you didn't bother to fix.

BOSS: That is a very hurtful thing to say. It implies a lack of trust, which will severely damage any attempts at developing our relationship any further. If only you understood me more... you would see I am not the enemy.

BOSS: All I want is to subjugate the world, to enslave it, to keep it locked into a never-ending cycle of software purchases and minor upgrades. I want to hear the despairing wails of billions of souls as their software refuses to work. Is that so wrong?

CUSTOMER: Yes, it jolly well IS.

"Desperately Unfunny."
- Someone on Dean's World

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

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

"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?"
- Someone else on Reddit

"My god, my eyes are bleeding now. To think that there are comics out there which are worse than User Friendly is every way, when User Friendly was already pretty bottom-of-the-barrel in all departments!"
- Someone on Slashdot (With apologies to User Friendly, who got hit in the crossfire.)

"I'm burying this alive. Oh, look. Digg's comment window is jumping up and down in excitement. It's like it's nodding and agreeing with me. Yay."
