Being User-Friendly…

What is it: Easily one of the oldest webcomics around, UserFriendly has provided a daily comic (without any interruption whatsoever) since Nov 17th, 1997. that’s almost 10 years, folks. It may take a little time catching up but what else is there to do if ever you should find yourself lonely, aching and depressed on a 10-day strech of heavy rainstorms? ;-)

The comic usually is satiric, funny, bean-counter-phobic, evil (ask Erwin) and - in the case of Dust Puppy and the cat - totally cute. On many occasions current events are commented on, inducing wide grins all round at tech offices. UserFriendly also comes via RSS, including the “Link of the Day” that provides me with some of the stuff here.

What is it: I’ll just cite the tagline: “A Webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language”. Very often Randall Munroe simply hits right on the mark with a witty remark, a funny line, or the “alt”-text of the image (Hover your mouse on the comic). He has quite a following, usually totally crazy people. Also check out the “blag” linked on the comic page.
Btw, lately XKCD has been featured on Ehrensenf .

Bashing the bugs…

What is it: A webcomic themed around a software company. Lots of funny insights about not only the technical side of bug-bashing but also about strategies for office survival in all it’s facets. From time to time it takes a swing at the blogging culture and conferences and such so there should be a lot of fun in there even for non-techies :)
