The Tao of Geek: an online comic Hiryuu: Pete, did you clean the bathroom yet? / Pete: mmm. / Hiryuu: Did you hear me?! / Pete: Shh. Reading. / Hiryuu: ...what is that? / Pete: "Little Miss Wonderbitch." It's a blog. / Hiryuu: um... ok... What's so engrossing about it? / Pete: She's a complete drama queen. She rocks. / Hiryuu: I... thought you hated drama queens. / Pete: Usually. Not always. / Hiryuu: So why are you reading this one? / Pete: Because reading internet drama is the best procrastination method ever.
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Hiryuu: Ok, so this... "Little Miss Wonderbitch..." What does she write about? / Pete: I dunno... Stuff. Her life, mostly. But usually stuff. / Hiryuu: Like? / Pete: Well, here's a recent post... / Blog: It is soooo frustrating being me! No one appreciates the genius that is me, and that makes me sad. I think there should be a parade in honor of me, my genius, and my sexiness. / Hiryuu: Wha... People read that drivel? / Pete: Yeah! They do! / Hiryuu: On a regular basis?! / Pete: Yes! Absolutely! / Hiryuu: I... I expected more from you. / Pete: Oh, come on. A person can't be high-brow all the time. / Pete: Here's another post... / Blog: I hate my mother. She kicked me out of the house, so now I'm homeless, though not really because I can mooch off my friends' places and screw my boyfriend, which is the reason I got turfed in the first place. Not my fault she ignored the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on my door. / Hiryuu: Why don't you just go buy one of those celebrity gossip magazines? / Pete: But this is cheaper, with the same feeling of superiority.
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Pete: Now, what I like about this is the interaction. / Hiryuu: You get to punch people in the face? / Pete: No! User comments! Here're a few from that last post I read: / Sephy1625: Wow... I'm glad you're safe. And still posting / CS02Exile: What? You didn't yell at her, "What, you can't READ!?" / Thundarr: Can I be your boyfriend next? / Sm4rt4ss: WASH DIES. That is all. / Hiryuu: That would seem to create its own drama. / Pete: Pretty much, yeah. / Hiryuu: I feel like saying something. / Pete: You dictate, I transcribe. / Hiryuu: Ok... *AHEM*... Here we go... Wow. Such a bigger pile of drivel I have never seen. I guess at some point, it'd occur to you all to, oh, maybe get yourselves a life, or something that resembles it. As it is, your efforts here seem to go for naught but prepare you for a half-hearted, amateur foray into public administration. Have fun, suckers! / Pete: Ok... and... there we go! Have a look! / Hiryuu: Ok... hm, not bad... but, uh... / Hiryuu: You forgot the "L" in "public administration." / Pete: Hey, if you're going to flame, you may as well go all the way.
 
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Pete: Geez, you ok? / Hiryuu: Not exactly... I was up until 3am reading the Wonderbitch archives. / Pete: Addictive, isn't it? / Hiryuu: I mocked it, but I believe! I believe! / Pete: Knew you'd see the light... oh, and there's a new entry... / Hiryuu: Wait! I wanna read it too! / Pete: Grab some coffee and let's go! / Pete: Here we are... / Blog: I want to thank you all for the support over the past few days. It means a lot to me, knowing you care! / Blog: As a gift, here are a few photos of me... some might call them "provocative." ;) / Pete: A common misspelling... "Provocative" instead of "not safe for work." / Hiryuu: I didn't think they would tattoo down there!
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Pete: So, what did you think of Wonderbitch's latest post? / Hiryuu: um, er... remind me? / Pete: About the birthday party. / Hiryuu: Ah, yes... / Hiryuu: Personally, if it was me, I would have told the others to screw off. / Pete: Yeah... though I must say, I'm intrigued by the bisexual orgy. / Pete: I had to laugh at her friend and her reaction... / Hiryuu: Well, of course! I'd smack any of you upside the head for that! / Pete: And don't forget the boyfriend's role in it. / Hiryuu: Oh, geez! If anyone tried that on me, it would have been one instant dump! / Pete: Yeah! She should get rid of that guy... and learn to take control of her own life! / [[Pause.]] / Pete: Does it bother you that we know so much about a complete stranger? / Hiryuu: How about the fact we're discussing what she should do with her life?
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Hiryuu: This is sad, y'know? / Pete: Hmm? What? / Hiryuu: Here we are, Saturday night, and we're sitting here reading some internet drama. / Pete: Such is the life of a single geek... / Hiryuu: It... It just sucks, is all. / Pete: I can think of worse fates. / Hiryuu: Oh? / Pete: Spending your Saturday night writing drama! / Hiryuu: Ha ha! Geez! My sides! Ha ha! / Caption: Meanwhile... / Naomi: Now let's see... What should go up next on Wonderbitch: an expose on Harry Potter fanfics... yet another whine about stupid S.O.'s... or a chocolate chip cookie recipe?
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Pete: Whoa... the implications... are... whoa... / Hiryuu: What now? Did Wonderbitch flash a hocky team again? / Pete: No... uh... Read the latest. / Wonderbitch blog: You know what the problem is with internet communities? They're all the same. Same people, same jokes, same every last thing. HEY INTERNET! Do something different for a change! / Hiryuu: Oh no... what... happened? / Pete: Where do I start.... Slashdot crashed its own servers. A Penny Arcade flash mob mooned the Homestar guys. LiveJournal and Blogger are reduced to "yo momma" jokes. And so forth. / Hiryuu: She... She put the internet into a state of turmoil? / Pete: Apparently... But when is it not?! / Hiryuu: Even so... the power of one voice... / Pete: I know. / Hiryuu: Wow. / Pete: This means one thing. / Pete: There is no greater time to buy t-shirts! / Hiryuu: Your credit card, or mine?
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Pete: Um, Hiryuu... Our Wonderbitch shirts have come in, but there's, um, something... wrong... / Hiryuu: We'll open the shirts in a bit... There's a new post! / Wonderbitch blog: As many of you have guessed, my last display of photos went over very well :) Who'd have thought so many people would be interested in little old me? As an encore, I present a few more pics. I warn you, the quality's not that good on them... / Hiryuu: Geez! More nude pics! I have to say... such a brave girl. / Pete: Oh... those. / Hiryuu: Wha... You recognize them?! / Pete: In a sense... I took those photos... / Hiryuu: Do you have anything else to say, to make sure I stay this disturbed?? / Pete: How about the fact our shirts came from a local address... a place we've been to before, in fact...
 
The Tao of Geek: an online comic <> / Naomi: Oh, hey guys! I wasn't expecting you! / Naomi: I gotta say... I like the shirt! / Hiryuu: Yeah, uh... we want to talk to you about that. / Naomi: What, you don't like my handiwork? I mean, they seem to fit... / Hiryuu: Aha! So you admit it, then! / Naomi: Admit...? / Hiryuu: That you run a drama queen blog! / Naomi: Well, yeah... I fail to see the problem, however... / Hiryuu: gna... / Pete: Can we discuss this inside, like normal crazies?
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Hiryuu: So... uh, tell us about Wonderbitch. / Naomi: There's not much to tell, really... I write silly and bizarre things in a blog. / Hiryuu: But... you... this stuff can't have happened to you... It seems so... fake! / Naomi: Well, duh! It's fiction! Me writing a character! Didn't you read the disclaimer? / Pete and Hiryuu: Disclaimer?? / Naomi: Oh, right... "It's on the internet; it must be true!" Work with me here, guys... / Naomi: Do I look like the kind of girl who'd organize a bisexual orgy?! / Pete: Yes, actually! / Naomi: Take it back! TAKE IT BACK! / Pete: Ow! Ow! UNCLE! / Hiryuu: Hey, go easy on him! He's, like, my landlord or something.
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Hiryuu: So wait... if the blog's fake, why do people keep reading? / Naomi: Entertainment, mostly... The community that built up around it doesn't hurt, either. / Hiryuu: What does Simon think of it? / Naomi: He doesn't know... Given some of the material, I prefer he didn't. / Hiryuu: How about the photos? / Naomi: Pat had a big stack of them... She didn't say why she had them, though. / Pete: Well, actually - / <> / Pete (cont):OW! / Naomi: Anyway, the tattoos are cheesy photoshops. / Hiryuu: Your address on the package? / Naomi: Normally I use a P.O. box... I doubt you guys are crazed rapists. / Hiryuu: So you just do this for kicks... / Naomi: And for economic reasons. / Naomi: The site is SO successful... between donations and shirt sales... it more than pays for our monthly rent! / Pat: Internet drama... It's a racket, boys...
The Tao of Geek: an online comic Jeremy: You look haggard... other grad students held a seance again? / Hiryuu: No... but it was a surreal moment... / Jeremy: Nice shirt. / Hiryuu: Yeah... You know the deal behind this site? / Jeremy: Naomi's crazy blog, yeah... what about it? / Hiryuu: Well, see she - wait, how did you know?! / Jeremy: She asked for help setting it up. It's hosted on the server in the basement. / Hiryuu: And you never told us?! / Jeremy: You never cared what went on it before! / Jeremy: Heh, heh... fun blog. I comment on it from time to time. / Hiryuu: You do?! I think I'd remember- / Hiryuu: Wait, I seem to recall one "CS02EXILE" as a commenter... / Jeremy: For the record, I doubt you're suited for a career in public administration... or whatever your typo meant.
