Comic Transcript
KING: Hey Alex. I could use some advice.
ALEX: Sure.
KING: I have a customer on hold who's not responding to any of the standard frustration-inducement techniques. I've tried stalling while I figure out his warranty status, but he's even being patient about THAT.

KING: Haven't tried that one.
ALEX: They hate that.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and the fishing hat.
And Alex is right. I hate it.
But, then, you knew that.

I get my inspiration from many places... but a lot of them are my father.
