The Original Tech Support Trick From 1983

A black-and-white four-panel comic titled DIGITS BY ROY MENGOT, featuring a large computer and terminal. Panel one lists commands like WRITE, ADD, LOAD, INTERRUPT, RESCHEDULE, STORE, SET MASK, GOFF OFF, RESET, BRANCH, GOODS and says 'I DRAPPED A POINTER!'; panel two shouts 'HEY! THE CURSOR'S GONE! WHAT HAPPENED?'; panel three says 'THE I/O CONTROLLER IS SCREWED UP MAYBE THERE'S A LOOSE BIT. TRY A REBOOT.'; panel four shows the terminal rebooting with 'THE REBOOT WORKED. AND IT ALWAYS WILL.' Good for slacking off, speechlessness, sarcasm and programmer self-mockery.
