His Own Worst Enemy

Help Desk, by Christopher B. Wright

Comic Transcript

ADALAI FOULE: Your Honor, the crux of my defense is simple: my client is an innocent man who is being unfairly harassed by the plaintiff, who has manufactured these spurious charges to hide the real reason for this lawsuit.

JUDGE: And this real reason is?

ADALAI FOULE: Jealousy, Your Honor. Professional jealousy, plain and simple.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Nonsense.

ADALAI FOULE: Is it? Your Honor, a quick examination of the legal records of both my client and this man will find that they are identical in every way. Who wouldn't be jealous of that kind of competition?

JUDGE: Mr. Foule, their legal records are identical because they are the same man.

ADALAI FOULE: What's your point?

JUDGE: My point is... well, you can't... it just doesn't...

JUDGE: Nevermind. Please continue insulting the intelligence of this court.

ADALAI FOULE: Thank you, I will.

Slowly, slowly...

The judge has a master plan here. He's going to wait until the evidence piles up, proclaim Viktor guilty, and then throw him into an asylum. If he gets the chance, he'll blame UberSoft, and make them pay for it, but I think he'll settle for state funding if he has to.

The clot thickens

Ah, but whose master plan is it really? Viktor spent 5 strips trying to get the computer to choose someone other than Mark. Once Viktor realizes that the computer's second choice is not a coincidence but instead a plot to get him out of its way, Viktor will accuse Mark of framing him thus giving the computer what it wants and removing himself from the line of fire.

...or not.

Best punchline in awhile!

Best punchline in awhile! Comic gold!

rofl. no, really.

It is VERY uncommon that I shed tears of laughter after reading a comic. It is VERY VERY uncommon that I collapse and nearly fall off my chair after reading a comic. In light of the past two points, I worry greatly at the fact that my response to this plotline has been increasing with every update.
