Gasp! A comic with more than one panel!

No, no the Cintiq is not working yet. Yes, I am getting extremely pissed that they keep saying they’ll service the display, yes the display’s the problem, but hey, why don’t we send you a new VGA cable first even though we’re 100% sure the old one’s fine? Or you could, you know, walk to a school full of little children and say “Hi, I’m a strange adult male of unknown intentions, and I’d like to slip into one of your classrooms with all your impressionable young children to use one of your DVI-capable computers to test this thing?” Oh, we’ll fix the display eventually, maybe. Sort of. Only we say we will but then find a way around it. Say, you don’t mind paying to mail it back to us, do you?

Idiots. Wacom customer support needs to be strung up.

I’d say I have my vengeance in mocking them, but considering that I’m aping people that I’m likely distantly related to (you know, I could have written that in real Japanese; I just didn’t feel like it), I’m kind of mocking myself too. Some victory.

Speaking of customer support: in case you missed it, yesterday was the third Darkside Rainbow Live Webcast, in which I ranted about my former work as a CSR (something any of you who’ve ever done that can probably completely understand) and said things that would make Don Imus keel over from shock but that George Carlin would probably think were weak, tame, and bland as dishwater. Either way, I have officially forfeited my right to ever be offended by anything anyone says, ever again.

It’s all for the sake of humor, right?

Anyway, if you care to listen and lose all respect for me (whether from my blatant disregard for political correctness or because the faster I start talking, the more I sound like my balls never dropped), follow the link up there. There’s an MP3 version of the webcast, and a log of the chat conversation.

    I find all of these comic pages fairly funny…beyond that I have no connection to them, so you aren’t getting any indepth comment.
