Comic Transcript
ALEX: I’ve been getting more calls than I thought I would about the Conficker virus. People wanting to know if this was the end of the world…
MONK: What, again?
ALEX: How many viruses have we seen that were supposedly going to bring the world to its knees, only to wind up being barely noticeable on the intended doomsday?
MARK: Yeah, but think about it. If you were a world-hating super-genius who wanted to wreck our computer infrastructure, wouldn’t it be in your interest to have a series of false alarms to lull the technical elite into a false sense of security, only to spring your ultimate weapon on them while they all stand around smiling and shaking their heads knowingly?
(Silence.)
MARK: Where are you going?
ALEX: To stuff all my money in my mattress.
