Transcript
Panel 1:
A young child (with reddish-brown hair, in a green shirt) clutches the hair of an older sibling girl, who screams in pain.
Girl: MOM! BOBBY'S PULLING MY HAIR!
Panel 2:
The mother (a woman with glasses and brown hair) calmly explains.
Mom: SWEETIE, BOBBY'S A BABY. HE CAN'T THINK LIKE YOU. HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND, SO SCREAMING AT HIM WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOU.
Panel 3 (caption: LATER...):
The mother sits in the dark, illuminated by the glow of a computer screen, screaming furiously at her monitor.
Mom: NO! I HADN'T SAVED YET! FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT EXCEL! BY CHRIST, FUCK YOU!

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a young child grabs the hair of an older sister, who shrieks, "Mom! Bobby's pulling my hair!" Panel 2: their bespectacled mother calmly replies, "Sweetie, Bobby's a baby. He can't think like you. He doesn't understand, so screaming at him will do nothing for you." Panel 3, captioned "Later...": the same mother sits alone in the dark, lit only by a computer monitor, screaming with rage at the screen: "No! I hadn't saved yet! Fuck you, Microsoft Excel! By Christ, fuck you!" The joke: her reasoned advice about not screaming at something that can't understand you is undercut by her own furious tirade at software. Votey (aftercomic): a smiling close-up of Clippy, the Microsoft Office paperclip assistant, declaring, "I never left. I just grew more powerful, here in the darkness."
