An Unsatisfying Explanation

Comic Transcript

MARK: Look right now I don’t actually care whose fault it is. Right now I just want to know what it means and how to work around it.

PHIL: Beats me.

MARK: … Phil, you’re a programmer again, right?

PHIL: Sure, but–

PHIL: Yes, but–

MARK: Then why can’t you tell me why I’m getting a little error box that says “There was a thing” instead of something more useful and informative?

PHIL: Oh, OK. Yeah, I can tell you that.

MARK: You GLOSSED OVER some stuff?

PHIL: We may also have been drinking.
