A while ago, I highlighted a few of my favourite web comics. Little did I know then, that today I was going to be part of one. Here's the story:
Yesterday, @moellus complained yet again about his eternal nemesis, the NT admin, by saying something like: "Damn, can't unfollow the NT admin because he doesn't twitter - here's why - that's the sh*# he sends me!" (Original Tweet)
That reminded me of the famous insult by the late Douglas Adams from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", in which Arthur Dent says about the Vogons: "I wish I had a daughter so I could forbid her to marry one..."
So I twittered back that "I wish you were on Twitter so I could unfollow you!" must be the new worst insult you can do in 2009 and asked Oliver whether that would make a nice Geek And Poke cartoon.
Today, I'm proud to be part of the "Geek And Poke"-uversum, here's the cartoon:

I guess, to be "GeekAndPoked" is the new "Slashdotted" :). Thanks, Oliver!
P.S.: @moellus: Actually, to a geek, in 2009, sending someone a box of Windows 7 is like the medieval slapping with a glove. Don't take it lightly and get your LART-whip ready!
"Gonzalez Goes GeekAndPoke: My First Co-Authored Webcomic" has been brought to you by Constantin's Blooog.
