Panel 1: The
title panel of this Sunday-style colour comic looks like an
old-fashioned Blue Screen of Death, complete with the following text in
Courier font on a deep blue background: A fatal exception OE has occurred WEST OF BATHURST. The current comic strip will be terminated.
Panel 2: In the Davies College foyer, Jackie approaches Marie as Morgan watches. Jackie: The Internet keeps going down. Marie: I think it's up again now. Panel 3: A young white man with brown hair comes up behind Morgan. Morgan: Yeah, because the resnet dudes fixed it by stealing the server that hosts the alumni website. Jackie: We have an alumni website? Panel 4: The man takes out a tiny laptop and opens it. Man 1: I'd show you if wireless were working. Marie: Oh, there's no signal there. Move ten feet to the right. Panel 5: The man waves the laptop around as Morgan watches. A young brown man comes up behind Marie. Jackie: Maybe I'll just go to the computer lab. Man 2: Okay, except only one of the machines is functional, and Tom's writing his thesis on it. Panel 6: The first man continues to wave the laptop around as he searches in vain for a signal. Barbara appears. Morgan: The printer's down too. Jackie: The printer's always down. Man 2: Only for every third PDF. Panel 7: Marie and Barbara walk away together. Marie: It's like living in a place under a really boring curse. Barbara: It would be far more exciting if we all turned into wombats. Alt-Text: I think my entire life is under this very same really boring curse. Fancy that. Go to commentary |
