Comic Transcript

BOSS: Alice, we must mobilize our forces now, to discredit this "Open Document" standard that has turned the state of Massachusetts against us.

ALICE: We're working on it now.

BOSS: I want whispered innuendo... defamatory statements... misleading predictions of woe and despair... I want reports heralding the doom fo Civilization itself, and I want this accursed open standard blamed!

ALICE: Already in motion.

BOSS: I want plagues and pestilence! Wars and rumors of wars! CURSES LASTING NO LESS THAN SEVEN GENERATIONS!

(Silence.)

BOSS: Too much?

ALICE: Depends on the license agreement. Do we get to charge each generation separately for the same curse, or are they automatically grandfathered in?
