The Joy of Tech celebrates its 500th comic!

Not many comics will ever reach such a pinnacle moment as their 500th issue. It takes a long commitment, great content, and of course, devoted fans. Nitrozac and Snaggy, creators of The Joy of Tech comic, have all three of those.

Their 500th web comic was published this week, and in typical Joy of Tech style, tackles the latest tech event, the release of Apple’s new operating system Panther. The episode features scenes from a Panther Party, and is populated with the hapless geeks and tech babes that are Nitrozac and Snaggy’s trademark.

Says Snaggy, ”It feels fabulous to reach a milestone like 500, especially with it coming during the week we’ve finished up our new book for O’Reilly. It’s been a hilarious and fun Joyride, and we’re looking forward to the next 500.”

And so are a lot of other geeks!

The Joy of Tech:: So good, your Happy Mac will be smiling again.
