I follow only a few comics in my feed reader: Get Fuzzy, Dilbert, XKCD, and now The Adventures of Ace, DBA. It’s kind of XKCD-ish, only it’s about Oracle and it doesn’t have the extra punch line when you hover your mouse over the picture. And it’s proof that a DBMS (even one I don’t use) can be pretty damn funny.

I'm the lead author of High Performance MySQL, Second Edition.
You can hire me! I work as a consultant for Percona with some of my co-authors and other performance experts. You can contact me like this:
SELECT REVERSE('moc.anocrep@norab');
If you're looking for free, fast, friendly MySQL help instead of expert consulting, please send your questions to the MySQL mailing list, or hop on #mysql at FreeNode on IRC. Thanks!
Thanks for the praise for The Adventures of Ace! It’s actually a blast writing it…I feel like I’ve been keeping all this angst about being a DBA bottled up inside all these years. ;)
How do you subscribe to Get Fuzzy? Comics.com doesn’t seem to provide feeds.
I’ve made my own, but it only pulls the .gif file. Do you have a better source?

Rockin’! Thanks.
