Success with Failure

Postby Chacal » Tue May 09, 2006 11:58 pm

http://www.successwithfailure.com

This is a new on-line comic strip making it's debut. The author is an ex-coworker of mine. He's now with another firm and would certainly get fired if he was discovered.

It will feel familiar to anyone in the IT consulting field, much as Dilbert feels to office workers.

The events depicted are real for the most part, I was there to witness them. For example, the meeting at the bottom of this page: http://www.successwithfailure.com/week_2006.02.27.html actually happened and we were in it, I'm the one who proposed the objective of reaching page 1. My boss was horrified but the customers thought it was funny.
:freak:

Failure is within the Scope of Work!

It's clever but I think he needs to mix up the clip art a little. All these frames look the same, and it's confusing who the speaker is or could be in some of them.

Still - pretty funny stuff.

I think he does that on purpose. Always the same clip-art for the same character.
