Comic Transcript

BOSS: I have called you here because you represent the three most evil parts of my company... the legal department, the marketing division, and the programmers who write annoying software.

BOSS: I am going to leave. When I return, you are going to give me an idea for a product so evil that my forgetful userbase will be reminded, quite forcefully, that there is no one who approaches the level of utter depravity that I do.

(Silence.)

BOSS: Oh, and it must involve the Internet in some way.

VIKTOR SCHRECK: Right.

ALICE: Of course.

PHIL: That's what I figured.

"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."
