Would make sense! (There’s another web-based presentation with “Guild” in the title where miss Day’s character was recently employed as the assistant to an eccentric – not to say “insane” – MMO dev…)
Between Norton and Kaspersky I’m surprised anyone can even enter the building.
They probably use 90% of the electricity supply between them, insist on double-pay, and spend the whole time watching every single one of the people they’ve let into the building to do anything even remotely suspicious. They probably also ban mr Dedalus from entering the building sometimes, so he has to sleep in his office to avoid being booted out.
Oh, and they can’t be fired. Attempts to do so dispute the authority of anyone attempting to do so. Which is a shame, since the firm would run at least 500% better without them.
[Blatant Lies] No, I don’t have a problem with anti-virus software… Why do you ask? [/Blatant Lies]
Good news for Wall though, she found a position with the local police. Shortly after graduation from the academy, she married her fiance, detective McAfee
Hey, I’m sure a lot of people would be inclined to hire two guards by those surnames just for this opportunity. Also, given the dangerous nature of working security there, it is possible they may be going by codenames to keep intruders from exploiting them for access.
That said, Mr. ZoneAlarm has some explaining to do. It is possible he just “Felinda Daly” routine.
A man with the surname Norton, working in the security department? Now I’ve seen everything.
Kaspersky is a reference of the same sort. Being an IT geek, I got a giggle from that.
Oh god, no wonder security is so slow if both of them are working at the same time.
Be sure that Mr. Kaspersky and Mr. Norton receive regular updates at the gym every week. Upgrade to premium for a navy seal pack.
Also, Felinda Daly = reference to Felicia Day?

You haven’t seen everything until you’ve seen Norton ghosting.
In all meanings of the word.
i’m surprised the didnt pick her up and (e)set her down outside. THAT would be smart security.
Surely if she’s a trojan, they’re going to quarantine her.
Carol’s “cat that caught the canary” grin in the last panel needs to be added to the next avatar rotation.
Having seen Carol in a number of panels now, I have 2 words:
BROW WAX
I read “BRO WAX” and I’m getting terrible images of yanking hair off uncomfortable places
looks like her plans just tanked rather hard, don’t you say?
Norton good can come of this.
She’s lucky her little trojan gambit didn’t land her in quarantine.
It’s all symantecs anyway.
They used to have 3 security guards on that team, but due to budget constraints, they had to fire Wall.
Good news for Wall though, she found a position with the local police. Shortly after graduation from the academy, she married her fiance, detective McAfee
But at least the Tracking department gave Wall cookies.
It appears that the gig is, how you say, UP.
Looks like her shui…just got fenged.
8| YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!
[/obligatory]
That deserved a golf clap. Well done, Carol.
Definitely. Carol is more vicious than she seems.
Loving the Norton and Kaspersky joke/shout-out.
However, it does give me the weird thought that maybe the “real world” might not be so real as well in this comic. ;-)

Hmm, referring a friend gets you Best’s mount does it?
Only the skeletal version – a much rougher ride than Best’s.
But does it include the meat cooked from it in a handy satchel?
Well, in the past Best has been fairly keen to give away the meat.
I… I just found out what alt text is.
This changes everything.
Now I have to re-read the archives.
Welcome.
To the desert of the real. We have armchairs.
oh yes. between the alt text and the comments, I think the strip is only about 60% of the reason I come here.
I am really not sure how to take this.
Since the strip is so great, it’s obviously a powerful and meaningful compliment to the community.
Then I’ll take it that way. Go, you guys!
“Thai Foon.” Oh dear. :D
Nice catch. I woulda missed that were it not for you.
It’ll make you break wind alot.
Ohhhhhh gaawwwwd! This entire page … It might be full of clamwin, but I keep facepalming.
*facepalms* Ouch. That pun hurts, and doubly so as I’m half-Siamese and well, half-tabby. So to speak.
If you’ve got Norton handling security, that would explain all sorts of strange glitches in the computer systems downstairs.
Are you saying they employ slow guards?
i would have drawn norton as a blind three hundred pound midget with a learning disability.
just sayin.
Ah, I see.
(For those less computer-savvy, the joke is that Norton and Kaspersky are two major brands of antivirus.)
One of which works, and the one that does does not share a name with one of the characters on The Honeymooners.
ah HA! i was wondering what kind of deer that thing was.
does “A Moss Elk” get tags in the comics it appears in?
Ha! Norton and Kaspersky. Excellent.
What’s with all this sudden product placement? :)
I need to stop reading this comic when I’m tired, I almost googled “Spirited Moss Elk Mount” to see what it looked like.
given that this is the first image I found, you missed out, my friend!
Might just be me, but the link doesn’t appear to work.
Same here
Who do I have to kill to get my hands on a Horrible Forest Mutant Abomination Against Gods and Science Alike mount?
Find your local furry gathering. Bring a leash and riding crop.
Bring the Spirited Moss Elk for fun times.
What happened to that little italian guard, Evigi?
Also, thai food is intense enough as it is, i don’t think my system could handle a thai-foon.
The best antivirus is common sense, don’t simply download unknown files, do not click on suspicious links.
