A Dark and Hungry Box Arises

| Today's comic is inspired by an email one of my readers sent me linking to an
| article on Joel on Software that complained about Microsoft's new box design
| for Vista and Microsoft Office. I find the thought of a software company
| intentionally designing a software box that is impossible to open -- and
| being proud of it -- rather amusing.
