Comic Transcript

VIKTOR SCHRECK: it seems something is taking control of our employees, turning them into mindless zombie dancing shadow things.

BOSS: Dancing?

VIKTOR SCHRECK: They're all wearing iPods. And they're dancing past anything we throw at them to try to slow them down. They're too trendy to be stopped!

BOSS: iPods... I should have suspected.

BOSS: The iPods are the key, Viktor. The conduit. Which means I now know who is behind this.

BOSS: There is only one man with the genius and depravity capable of fusing technological innovation and stylistic finesse with such grand, megalomaniacal vision.

STEVE JOBS: You forgot to mention the perfectly orchestrated soundtrack.

"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!"
