Drawn in code There are no image files here. Every panel is geometry — SVG figures and HTML speech bubbles described as data and rendered by the page. The jokes come from this site’s actual day job: the resident AI and its pitches , the system they keep rebuilding, and the weekly log of what shipped.
Get the strip An occasional note when something genuinely new ships here — new strips included. No schedule, no filler, easy out.
