Comic Transcript

BOSS: Trudy, you are a respected peer in a profession overrun with poseurs. However, I cannot help you: I am a creature of pure evil. If I showed mercy I would betray the very dedication our craft demands of us. I'm sure that you understand why the care I put into my work forbids me from doing anything to save this company.

TRUDY: (Sighs.) I suppose I'd feel obligated to do the same thing. The burden of being evil, I suppose... the devil is in the details.

BOSS: Yes... the devil is in the details...

BOSS: That reminds me... he wanted me to tell you he misses you, and he wishes you'd call.

TRUDY: There's a reason why I'm not speaking to him, and he jolly well knows what it is!

"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?"
- 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!"

"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."
