Comic Transcript

KING: Hey Alex, any more gossip on the DOJ/Ubersoft trial?

ALEX: Not really. Management is keeping pretty quiet, considering the DOJ rejected their settlement offers and the judge found them guilty. All they'll say is that they made very effort to come to a reasonable compromise, and the DOJ's rejection of their proposal was terribly unfair.

NARRATOR: WEEKS EARLIER

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Here it is: We make vague promises to change our ways, but continue to claim that we've never done anything wrong... and continue to do what we've always done without regard for the law or the common good.

"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."
