Even Grues Get Full is the fourth collection of the hit geek comic strip
User Friendly by J.D. "Illiad" Frazer. Written with fresh, dry humor and
an amusing vividness that brings the cast of characters to life, the comic strip
is loved and read by millions around the world, from professional technologists
to eight-year old wunderkinds, from 83-year old grandmothers who miss their
Commodore 64s to patient spouses of born programmers.
The comic strip is packed with references to geek interests, from obscure movies
to old computer games, yet non-geeks are able to enjoy the story lines and character
quirks, from Erwin's acerbic humor to Miranda's constant angst; from the Smiling
Man's Machiavellian machinations to A.J.'s dysfunctional naïveté.
At the center of this lies Dust Puppy, the strip's gentle-hearted mascot and the
character who has endeared himself to readers everywhere.
In this book, join the antics of the characters once again as Stef contends with
an enormous Tequila worm, Mike is tormented by Mr. Cola, and the techs move shop
into an abandoned missile silo! Also included in this collection are the 9/11
tribute cartoons that were widely praised for their clear and simple pathos.
Called "Dilbert for Geeks" by Wired magazine and considered to be one of
the few consistently intelligent and socially aware cartoons on the 'Net, User
Friendly remains one of the most popular destinations for geeks and non-geeks
alike. This book is a sure hit with anyone who works with computers or for anyone
who lives with someone who works with computers!
