Comic Transcript

JACK: Hey man, Arnauld Dreck is on the phone. He wants to know why the servers have been down all week.

ALAN: Oh... well, tell him that two young and foolish employees decided to take one server offline in order to install an operating system we're not officially supposed to be using, and then another employee tool the OTHER server offline in order to show them a faster way to do it.

(Silence.)

JACK: I'd rather tell him something else.

ALAN: Fine, tell him it was a virus.

"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."
