Friday May 02, 2008 Favourite Free Fun Geek Cartoons to Cheer you up!
World economy bad? Financial results lower than expected? Stock price down the toilet? Or just bad weather?
No need to worry, last time I checked, after rain, always came the Sun, and it was stronger than ever!
Meanwhile, let me cheer you up with some favourite geek cartoons of mine:
User Friendly
This strip depicts the life of the heroic employees of an ISP called "Columbia Internet". It's something like the Dilbert of sysadmins, if you will. Lots of fun references to geek culture. And if you travel often by plane, you'll enjoy the strip above, it's ah, so true... For more background, read the Wikipedia entry on User Friendly.
XKCD
Above you see the future of the Solaris Network Auto-Magic (NWAM) feature. How could the author know? xkcd is "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language", and very funny. It became famous for it's depiction of online communities as a world map. Read more about xkcd in its about page.
Geek and Poke
...and now you know the real reason why Peter and I like to drive Enterprise 2.0 at Sun :). Geek and Poke is another self-published cartoon by a guy from Hamburg called Oliver Widder.
All of these cartoons come with a license to make them redistributable, so I'm glad I could put some of my favourite strips on this page and I hope they have cheered you up a bit :). If you want some more fun, it's easy: Just click on the cartoons above to see more. But be careful, they are addictive...
What other great geek cartoons did I miss? What are your favourites? Leave a comment!
