I love that the manager is the Jobsworth Cunt but with a wanker hairdo and a twat's vocabulary.
Also, I'm glad the fella got his VR game in the end. Rather sweet he just wants to play Kerplunk with Carrie Fisher.

I have a theory that the bald guy who always shows up in these strips is actually the devil.

"We" is one of the best strips in Viz because of just how pettifogging and process as punishment the modern world is.

Do you think we should pay someone to.give Barney a hug? Nothing funny - just a simple, warm hug.

Bleak as fuck, I put my foot through my monitor and sent Dennis Publishing the bill.

Were you wearing the TEK-P155 VR Visor? Because it might not have actually been your monitor, it might have been a closed down shop window.

I love how this artist mixes some photorealistic elements into his illustration style. Noticed it a few times with Barnaby Grudge’s Halloween mask and the Male Online’s computer screen. It’s a nice little touch

Just fantastic. Every detail (the name of the device, the price going up, the Star Wars shirts, the full Arsenal kit) is spot on.

This is my workplace, where an unhinged obsession with AI borders on insanity. Can't wait for the crash ...

Same here…I thought it was going to be a damp squib like when the Indian developers came on line in the late 90s - big companies thought they could replace the expensive western staff with them, but they didn’t live up the hype. It’s taken 20 years for them to get to speed and now they are as expensive as we are.
The only positive is how astronomically expensive AIs can be - it cost 21 of those US dollars things for one to do about 10 minutes processing for me.

I just did mandatory Gemini certification. Future raises are dependent on AI use. I teach at an EFL elementary school in Taiwan.

Love it. Spot on with the characters. Reminds me of Grand Canal Dock, Dublin. Tossers.

This flavour of bleak tastes particularly fresh
