That makes me think of a time, only two years ago, that our QA group was still keeping defects in Excel spreadsheets. Defect meetings looked like a paper factory, post-explosion, and defects were referred to by cryptic location: "Check the spreadsheet that so-and-so uploaded during the last phase of project Y. I think the original date was the 23rd at 4:03pm."
The implementation of a formal tool was much needed, and helped bug resolution speed greatly.
My take on the comic: Testing is a human excercise, that is nearly unmanagable without inhuman assistance.
I am very much impressed with your way of expressing your ideas or thoughts with cartoons, so good. I agree that the work has become easy after test automation.
I'm a tester, I test, some days I enjoy testing. I follow a few testing blogs and when ever I can I add comments in test forums. I hope through the test cartoon blog, testers will understand something new about the craft of testing. You can contact me on cartoontesting@gmail.com

Hi Evan, I like your take on the cartoon. The reason behind it was due to a similar experience I had with excel!
