Comic Transcript

BOSS: All my carefully laid plans are about to bear fruit...

NARRATOR: 5:24 PM, EST, New Year's Eve

BOSS: By intentionally introducing date incompatibilities into Ubersoft's software, I have ensured that as the year 2000 dawns, humanity will be plunged into a sea of chaos, their technology failing them, their machines unable to function.

ALEX: Or maybe nothing will happen at all.

BOSS: Quiet! I'm trying to stay optimistic.

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?"
