Comic Transcript

ALEX: Well, another year gone. I almost got sued by Apple.

MONK: We sued GPF. And lost.

MARK: I got arrested. Not that I'm bitter.

SCOTT: As strange as this last year was, I'm optimistic about the new one. It's like nature has given us a clean slate, and we should use it to right the wrongs in our lives... to make the world a better place.

PHIL: I... guess so.

MONK: Uh... yeah.

MARK: It's an interesting thought.

(Silence.)

ALEX: Or, we can try and figure out how to get out of admitting that our "U-Box" has a tendency to make a customer's DVD player lock up at random intervals.

"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."
