VIKTOR SCHRECK: So what you're saying is...

ADALAI FOULE: First, we must find a way to convince our wayward paperclip to return to Ubersoft. Then we must find a way to return him to his original self.

ALICE: But how on earth are we going to get him to come here?

STEVE: Hallo you lot! I heard a nasty rumor that the old man was in a spot of trouble, so I took some time off to see if I might perk the poor chap up.

(Silence.)

STEVE: Which, apparently, was an unfortunate decision on my part.

ADALAI: Do we have any rope?

"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."
