This strip is directly inspired by a real coding competition on DonationCoder that I’m going in for this year.
You can learn all about it here:

If you’re into coding yourself, you should definitely take a look.
And in fact if you’re a PC user of any sort I recommend the site for its multitude of marvellous applications, how-to’s, reviews, discussion forums and even discounts on commercial software.

Hey, I’m glad they’re in on the act!
Are there restrictions to reproducing this with a link back here?
I’m also wondering about featuring them on DC? Maybe you should have a NANY Project?

mouser: you’re right of course. Cobbe is one of those types who has to have everything single thing to support his hobbies, which come and go like the changing of the tide.
scribbly: no restrictions from my side! And yes, I think setting up a NANY project is a genius idea
