@mojo come on… this is a webcomic featuring a geek who supports Free Open Source Software. You’re not really thinking that mentioning RMS is inappropriate in this comic, even tho he’s already been mentioned in another geeky comic before? :)

I’m far from saying it’s plagiarism. Maybe rather: “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”

Really awesome and epic. You gained my respect.
RMS should ask Moss’ mom that there’s also free-software implementations of vi. Btw, I’m a vi user too.

Good work!

@mojo, I don’t think there are lots of similarities with XKCD. And yeah, I used RMS in a strip and XKCD did before me. That’s far from plagiarism, imho.

all hail RMS!! Randie has been proven worthy.. he is now deemed.. “The chosen one” the one to free all the software and end everything with a windows logo on it.

oh, and when I grow old I’d love to be a Moss fighting for Linux :)

Moss is the MAN :)
I think she would do a great job fighting for ,not against Linux :)
and Vi rules!

C’mon Salvatore, I don’t want to suggest anything, but I’m getting a little tired of seeing obvious similarities to xkcd…

@paurullan was right… I _had_ to change it! Forgive me :-)
