The follow-up to the highly successful first collection of User Friendly comic strips from O'Reilly & Associates, Evil Genuises in a Nutshell tells the continuing tale of Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working and most neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world." Take three techs, two salespeople, a designer, two executives, a couple of administrative staff, mix in a mischievous Artificial Intelligence and a "dust puppy" born from the innards of a mega server, put them all together in a crowded little office, and you have the makings of one of the most off-beat, original and funny comic strips to come along in years. User Friendly reads like Dilbert for the Open Source community. With a massive online following, it provides outsiders a light-hearted look at the world of the hard core geek, and allows those who make their living dwelling in this world a chance to laugh at themselves. The User Friendly fan base is growing by almost 30% a month, and this title has the potential to help foster a greater sense of cultural identity between O'Reilly and its customer base.
There is also the potential to attract a newer, younger audience who are fans of User Friendly but are not as familiar with O'Reilly.
J.D. "Illiad" Frazer is the CIO and Creative Director for userfriendly.org, the leading IT-oriented cartoon site on the Web today. He has been involved in the creative and high-tech industries for over twelve years, employed by various Internet and other high-tech companies in creative and project management capacities. Although he currently spends most of his time cartooning, he has a love for visual art, writing, and game design, all of which he will address when time permits. He is an avid science-fiction and technology fan, although he notes the two can occasionally be mutually exclusive. While not cartooning, participating in the UFie community, or gaming, he writes, reads, and plays with his dog, cats, and ferrets. As a member of the worldwide computing community, he strongly believes in strength through moderation, and is a supporter of the Open Source and Free Speech movements.
