Metafilter Comic Strip

August 12, 2009 9:14 PM

OK, at some point during the past eight years, somebody posted a little Metafilter comic strip they'd drawn. I've been trying to find it but google is not behaving.

There's a guy reading Metafilter. Successive panels show him slowly growing more and more agitated at the drivel on his screen. Then the last panel shows him calmly hitting F5.

I swear I tried really hard to look for it but sometimes searching the archives of this site feels like swimming through the bowels of a library-eating Fraggle.

Oh, my point is, does anyone know what I'm referring to and have a link handy?

"Be Safe and Smart on MetaFilter" is one of my favorites.

(Since we're talking about MeFi comics, not that it was a good match or anything. Anyway.)

Sorry, I have to flag your comment because it didn't answer the question.

(That strip iconomy links to works way better if you pretend the guy is mathowie.)

(Yeah, well, I touch type. None of that "hunt and peck" nonsense that that dude's got going on.)

OK, the one about "surprised it stayed up this long" is a funny joke. The others can go.
