Go forth and cron one another
This comic goes out to all those sys admins out there. The next time you see something stupid in a cron, or something that should have been removed, but never was, I want you to drop to your knees and scream out "CROOOOON!" in your best Kirk, Wrath of Khan impression. Reach the heavens with you scream. Make people wonder who this cron is and what did they do to your family. Make sure the whole building your in can hear your anguish, and then, after a short moment of awkward silence, promptly fix the problem.

I would also like to thank all of you who stopped by the booth at Chicago Comic Con. I really enjoyed meeting all of you. It's nice to put faces to the faceless masses out there, sometimes. Also, to the guy who asked for an autograph, I should have asked if you wanted it personalized. Sorry I didn't, that was the first time I've been asked for that, so I was out of my element. If you did want it personalized, shoot me an email. My name above this comment is an email address.
RIP rm-r-comic
