The .NET Gnome vs. the Network Ogre #2

Here's the rest of my encounter with the Network Ogre about his SMTP server. Since then, I've experienced numerous other fit-for-a-cartoon encounters at work with the Ogre, and a new character I'm going to introduce next time (if there is a next time), the “DBA Troll.“ In fact, I seem to end up with a new cartoon every time this particular individual comes into my office..

Since you are introducing new characters, just call your cartoon "The .NET Gnome". Then whenever you show a guy, put a little title bar in the first frame saying "Network Ogre" or "DBA Troll".

By the way I like the new skin... it's Mozilla-friendly!

Good idea D. Thanks. Should I keep going with this? I'm so immersed in the actual situation, it's hard for me to tell if it's funny or not... :)

Thanks Tom... I'll do it just for you... I'd don't need much reinforcement to keep me happy! ;)
