Comic Transcript
BOSS: Alice, we must mobilize our forces now, to discredit this “Open Document” standard that has turned the state of Massachusetts against us.
ALICE: We’re working on it now.
BOSS: I want whispered innuendo… defamatory statements… misleading predictions of woe and despair… I want reports heralding the doom fo Civilization itself, and I want this accursed open standard blamed!
ALICE: Already in motion.
BOSS: I want plagues and pestilence! Wars and rumors of wars! CURSES LASTING NO LESS THAN SEVEN GENERATIONS!
(Silence.)
BOSS: Too much?
ALICE: Depends on the license agreement. Do we get to charge each generation separately for the same curse, or are they automatically grandfathered in?
