My new favorite comic: The Adventures of Ace, DBA

with 4 comments

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.

  1. 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. ;)

  2. 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?
