The ability to laugh at oneself is one of the most endearing characteristics of the hacker culture. Illiad's cartooning style provides an opportunity to share a sense of broader cultural identity in a sometimes cutthroat and humorless business. It's back to Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working and most neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world", for 'The Root Of All Evil', our third installment from the online comic hit, 'User Friendly'.
Author Illiad probes the delightfully misaligned worldviews of sales staff, execs, and caffeine-fueled techies, whose special world includes the Dust Puppy - offspring of a combination of dust, lint, and quantum events inside a network server - and Erwin, the Artificial Intelligence.
