"Desperately Unfunny."

::Comment at 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?"

::Another comment at Reddit::

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"

::Yet another comment at Reddit, a site that truly appreciates what I do::

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."

::A conservative political discussion site that I can't remember the name of any more::

"It doesn't make me want to put my face in a belt sander."

::Eric Burns-White, Websnark::

"Not Notable."

::Wikipedia::

"Disagree."

::Wikipedia::

"I don't think this comic meets the notability requirements for Wikipedia."

::Wikipedia::

"It's been running since 1996. That's notable."

::Wikipedia::

"You're such a bleeding heart. You'll call anything notable. It's editors like you who damage the high standards of quality Wikipedia strives to maintain each and every day."

::Wikipedia::

"Stop being such an elitist."

::Wikipedia::

"I'm not elitist! I'm for the people, baby! I just think the comic sucks."
