That was cute. The end panel, where he decides to do the equivalent of a "Kill me with handgun" on himself, reminded me of how I've felt after trying to fix a programming problem caused by a tiny or almost blatantly obvious error.
If you've ever done programming or database work I think you'd enjoy this cartoon, which hilariously summarizes the vulnerability of "SQL Injection".
