    Yeah, but BOFH in a *comic* format, with *pictures* sort of goes against the whole BOFH mythos. What, you think this stuff is supposed to be easy?

    I hate how nowadays comics have become politically charged.

    Give me the good ol' wholesome days of Captain America fighting 'Red' Skull anyday.

    You really can't see it?

    It would have to be from the BOFH's perspective.

    First panel: the glow of a monitor sillouhetting the top of a Mt. Dew can.

    Second panel: the can is lowered to show the office: empty cans, random cards lying about the room, boxen with no cover, hard drives, multiple monitors on either the command line, a text editor or an FPS.

    Third panel (or even later if you want to instill drama)pan to the right to face the mortal enemy: the lUser: "I think my cup holder is broken."

    No their going to give out those crappy ones you got a few times as a kid, you know what I'm talking about? The ones where Spiderman gets sexually molested and has to talk about it with his parents? At first you thought, oh cool free comics! But then after page 3 you realized they were fake. I'm serious. I've got another one where Daredevil helps me remember not to leave the stove on when I cook my snack after school.

    Thanks Stan Lee, through your characters we're forming a better America!
