Comic 898: On your knees, dog, for the engineer

Alt-text: Themistocles said his infant son ruled all Greece -- "Athens rules all Greece; I control Athens; my wife controls me; and my infant son controls her." Thus, nowadays the world is controlled by whoever buys advertising time on Dora the Explorer.

Randy's quest to deify scientists and engineers continues, or maybe he is just fellating his fans. It's difficult to tell. Whichever it is, this comic is exceedingly lazy and dull. It is also interesting to note that Randall is willing to massively simplify a situation to make his point. There is no 'red button'. There is no single engineer who installed the entire machinery for the authorisation and deployment of nuclear attacks.  The military also employ engineers, and things like 'testing' and 'background checks' exist.

I know Randall and his fans desperately want to believe that engineers are capable of doing anything due to their MacGyver-like innovation, but they have to face the facts. Engineers are people too, subject to the same stupidities and limitations as the rest of us.

Anyway, that alt-text again hints at the idea that Randall has children, although Dora the Explorer is a ubiquitous enough for him to have referenced it without being forced to endure it.

JON LEVI'S BINGO TIME!

Is it bingo? Is it? Is it?

No.
