A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

 

 

Caption next to panel: Never have I felt so close to another soul and yet so helplessly alone as when I google an error and there’s one result

A thread by someone with the same problem

And no answer

Panel: A stick figure is standing in front of a desk with a monitor, gripping the monitor with both hands and shaking it.

Person One: “Who were you, DenverCoder9?–What did you see?!”

Hover text: All long help threads should have a sticky globally-editable post at the top saying ‘DEAR PEOPLE FROM THE FUTURE: Here’s what we’ve figured out so far …’
