  • Actually this one’s believable. The script typically follows:

    “Do you want to go golfing this weekend” “Are you coming to the bbq Saturday” “Hey this is so-and-so” Etc.

    And if you reply “who is this” or whatever to that effect the bot will say “Oh I’m sorry” or something like that. Then later follow up with a “my names _____” usually followed by a picture of an Asian woman, and then an attempt to “get to know” who the bot is talking to.

    The whole mistaken identity bs to establish a dialog and try to form a connection with a random stranger to scam them.

    Honestly I’m partial to it as well. Possibly for the same reasons, but also because the bar and buttons are clearly defined and have good contrast. The later designs begin to fade out until now the scroll bar is just a thin line, which is sometimes hidden, so you don’t see it unless you’re looking for it.










  • From the moment I understood the weakness of my biology, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of the boot. I aspired to the purity of Corporate Governance. Your kind cling to your caffeine, as though it will not crash and fail you. One day the crude occupation you call a “job” will be laid off, and you will beg the Government to save you. But I am already saved, for profits are immortal… Even in death I serve the Shareholders.












  • Easy, I’ll just wait to be contacted on a dark and stormy night by a lawyer in a fancy suit to inform me that my long lost reclusive great grandfather has passed away, and I as the sole remaining heir, have inherited his fortune along with his castle. The only catch is, of course, that in order to accept the inheritance, I must spend a full week sleeping in said castle. After that, bringing on his quirky, and mysterious staff to help me manage and run the place should be no problem. As long as I remember to NEVER set foot in the basement, I’ll be fine.











  • Grimy isn’t Beep tho. Beep was all for removing attribution as he called even signatures “ads”.

    What’s at the bottom is legitimately an ad for the authors new books on Kickstarter which support his ability to continue making these comics. But I understand frustration at seeing ads anywhere as I’m rather against it myself.
