Five… comics from 2009

21 December 2009 No Comment

Next on my list of ‘Five…‘ this one is pretty self-explanatory. I follow a few comics using Google Reader and others I have just come across as the year has gone on.

1. xkcd – Static
I discovered xkcd a few years ago and I have been known to spend hours hitting random and browsing through this wonderful land of geeky goodness. For me the xkcd strip of the year goes to… ‘Static‘.

2. Dilbert – 4th October 2009
When everything seems a little bit insane and off the wall at work you know there’s someone out there experiencing exactly the same thing. Dilbert. And of course this year Dilbert discovered Twitter, and this became one of my favourite strips of the year.

3. The Terminatrix
I just want it to be true…

4. The world according to Americans

5. Why I’d rather be punched in the balls than call customer services
This showed up just before I experienced a years worth of bad customer service in a week. Bad customer service drives me insane. I felt this eloquently captured the experience many of us have had on multiple occasions. (I couldn’t post the whole thing on here so just mosey on over to The Oatmeal to check it out)
