I asked ChatGPT4o «Draw me a picture with a lot of happy puffins flying over a cliff in Iceland, with large fields of lupines and a volcano erupting in the background.»
It replied: «Here’s the drawing of happy puffins flying over a cliff in Iceland, with large fields of lupines and a volcano erupting in the background. I hope you like it!»
In my mind I see a proud kindergarten child showing me this picture and saying «Please tell me you like it» 🥺

Illiad (a.k.a. J. D. Frazer) sadly shut down the userfriendly.org site and archive at the end of February 2022. For many of us, userfriendly depicted our daily struggle with management and users more accurately than any other comic strips.
Luckily, someone created a CBZ and put it on archive.org for eternity

Heute Nacht vor 17 Jahren stand ich mit vielen anderen vor der Buchhandlung Orell Füssli English Books (gibt’s heute nicht mehr) an, um zur Geisterstunde den letzten Band der Harry Potter Reihe zu kaufen.
