    I like the original.

    Comic by Jason Heeris, 2013. Panel 1: Person staring at screen with code: if c == ',': backtrack = 1 Panel 2: Zoomed out. Code now in big thought bubble Panel 3: Zoomed out more. Thought bubble: "... so if the current character is a comma, we set the backtracking flag ..." Panel 4: Zoomed out more. Thought bubble fills half the panel. It shows a state diagram, presumably part of a finite automaton corresponding to a regular expression. Panel 5: Zoomed out more. Thought bubble fills most of the panel. Flowchart. Step "parse" leads to decision "-i flag"; one branch to box with previous state diagram (scaled down), other branch to step "remote config", then decision "https" with branches out of visible area. Panel 6: Zoomed out more. Huge thought bubble with scribbled diagrams and notes and arrows connecting them. E.g. "commit #5763 to here caused bug or did it just expose it?", pointing to "new config format parser" and "callback for config state"; "CLI entry point" has a note on it saying "Sarah wrote this, maybe ask about weird parse logic?"; "remote config loader" has a note "no access to source - are we just recalculating its state later?". Panel 7: Back to normal zoom. Another person with a tie and coffee in hand peers over the screen: "Hey, so I just sent you an email about that thing". The thought bubble is collapsing into a black hole. Panel 8: Tie/coffee guy is walking off, whistling. Original person is back to staring at screen with code: if c == ',': backtrack = 1
