I loved the comic strip so much, I photocopied it & handed it out to the
developers I work with. They were ROTFLOL! The funniest thing was when I
gave it to one of them, and halfway through reading it he said, "What does
'fetid' mean?" I was almost laughing too hard to tell him to read on.
Later he said to me, "How did you know I wouldn't know what 'fetid' meant?"
(*I* didn't know that, but the artist/author apparently did!)
