    sexylosers is ok too

    I miss that site, I wish it hadn't died. Still, it's not quite dead, not quite ... There's hope yet.

    I was reminded of 'The stranger' from The Big Lebowski.

    His hands are supposed to be beat up, because he's been typing cobol his whole life. I promise better comics in the future.

    What about making a webcomic about an anthropomorphic wolf that is trained as engineer? A female wolf. On space. Trained on spaceship engineering. Surroended by robots whose programation is a whole WTF on itself. Oh, wait, it's already been done.

    Great. Just what the world need. Another lame, unfunny, badly drawn piece of crap.

    Forget episodes 2 - 25. Please do us all a favor and kill it now.

    George,

    Remember that it is easy to be critical, but it is difficult to produce. I would not worry at all about the ones that are overly critical of the strip, but take the ones that have constructive comments and try and apply them (for instance reducing the size of the image). That of course means that you will probably get someone else upset that it is now in black & white, but you can't please everyone.

    Personally, I thought the strip was funny, and it certainly was much better than I could have come up with!!!

    Without making any statements to the merits of this comic, would it be possible to get an RSS feed of the site which doesn't include it? It's just: comics are not why I read this website, it seems a little arbitrary and random to be including one here.

    I got a chuckle out of these, cut this guy some slack. Nothing but a bunch of haters up in here.

    Web comics: Somebody with no sense of humor, who can't draw, typing IT buzzwords and video game trivia into speech balloons.

    Aside from xkcd, web comics have no reason to exist. Please have the decency to kill this moronic thing.

    It wins, you fail, deal with it.

    Oh Jesus Christ, seriously? The comic isn't funny. It's almost as bad as this site's latest layout.

    I agree. The daily wtf is just that. However, the REAL WTF is that shitty comic strip.

    IDE's is actually correct. Just like CD's, CEO's, etc. Apostrophe "s" shows that an acronym is plural.

    You don't type COBOL, you write in on the coding sheet. The data entry staff type it from the coding sheet.

    Alex said: "Igorning MFD is actually amazingly easily in this case. Here's how! if (rssTitle.startsWith("Mandatory Fun Day:") || webTitle.IsColor("Obsidianish") ignore();."

    It's not the fact that I don't find it funny*, or I don't visit here to read a webcomic, it's that a M-W-F run means there are going to be two or three of these clogging up the front page every time I visit. I don't read by RSS. I'm one of the people that uses a web browser to read, and might even click a revenue generating ad or two. If the actual comic was cut off and I had to click through to see it, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I might even check it out from time to time. As it is, it's like a huge, unfunny* banner ad, interrupting what I visit for.

    • Humor being extremely subjective, I must add the disclaimer that I don't find it funny, but what do I know?

    FAIL! While you're right that leaving out what was always a required apostrophe is now becoming (~has become) acceptable, in no case is that apostrophe 'wrong'. I still consider people who write about PCs to be somewhat illiterate.

    "And just when that happens, I’ll run out of jokes."

    Whoa! You mean there are jokes in there? Do we get a prize for finding them? :-)

    I swear this makes me sick to my stomach...

    ...I hired on for what I thought was a .NET job, and somehow I'm programming COBOL now...

    heavy sigh

    I like Web-comics. Read them all the time. I also love this site. I guess it's a case of your peanut butter in my chocolate. My biggest problem with this site is the coding stories. I don't write code and just don't get the jokes. Couldn't you just remove that for my convenience? Or maybe you could create a WTF that uses Gadgets, like iGoogle. That's trendy now, right. I would just go to the WTF homepage and pick which categories I wanted to display. Then I couldn't complain about all the crap you make me read to get to the good stuff. Not that I think any of it is crap. Except the original coding stuff. Who thinks coding is funny. That, of course, is the REAL WTF. LOL Keep up the good work guys.

    How about, "Dog-gone-it"?

    Also, why are there are replies to comments that are not on the main comment page? I am glad to be able to see them, but I don't understand why they were moved from the main comment page.
