Hopefully, Ensign Sue had a short run and is over now.

Freefall just earned a place on my list... ahead of Ensign Sue.

Thanks, Brandie. Webcomics are a guilty pleasure of mine.
I'm adding that to my list for now. It gets a probationary spot below Wondermark. Currently my top 3 are "XKCD", "Evil Inc.", and "A Softer World."
---------------------------------------------------------
Edited to add:
Okay... now I understand the title of the new strip.

I will have to check out Evil Inc, but agreed on the other two. My thrid currently is Questionable Content. Very different topic, but still - very funny.

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

Evil, Inc. is for those who love comic books... a past guilty pleasure of mine.

I need to make a correction: Questionable Content comes ahead of Wondermark on my list. I love Hannelore.

It is, well, sorta. It just that it would look better in the form of a comic strip, you know, with prettier pictures/drawings.

Steve, have you seen the Matrix? The Thread is similar, but it revolves around SQL Server Central. 😀

So this is a virtual SQL Server community? Or are we the architects working behind the scenes?

Which makes me wonder, what would a virtual dream be? A dream percieved by person A, but actually in Person B's mind? And would it be in color?

Yes, I saw Inception over the weekend...
