Comic Transcript

PHIL: We might have a problem.

MONK: Problem?

PHIL: Maybe. There’s a chance… An outside chance, mind you… That a tiny, mostly insignificant bug in our voting software will, um, actually elect Binky the Cheerful Winking Paperclip as President of the United States.

MONK: Binky?

PHIL: Well… When you made your prediction yesterday – you know, of our voting booths corrupting all the data – I decided it’d probably be good to look at the code again.

PHIL: It just so happens that any time there is a problem in the software, it uses Ubersoft’s standard problem resolution software in order to try and work through it. And that standard problem resolution software…

ALEX: … includes Binky.

PHIL: Includes Binky.

PHIL: And apparently, he has political aspirations.

BINKY: Hi there, Skipper! It looks like you’re trying to vote! Would you like to support a write-in candidate?
