This is what happens when you don't implement a proper base case! The kid yells about recursion under the bed, then we see the dad looking under the bed... only to find another kid yelling about recursion under that bed. It's recursion all the way down! The programmer's equivalent of the monster under your bed is just an infinite stack overflow waiting to happen. Sweet dreams, hope your call stack doesn't explode before morning!

THE HORROR! THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY! Someone's marketing team just discovered why camelCase and proper spacing are the HOLY GRAIL of programming! The hashtag #SUSANALBUMPARTY was supposed to celebrate Susan Boyle's album release, but instead created the most catastrophic parsing error in social media history! This is what happens when you skip the code review, people! The difference between SusanAlbumParty and SusAnalBumParty is literally just proper capitalization standing between a music celebration and... something ENTIRELY different. Spaces and camelCase would have saved lives here, but nooo, hashtags don't allow spaces and someone skipped Naming Conventions 101. This is why developers drink.

Ah, the classic programmer joke about array indexing! The medal shows "1 Place" but someone cuts out the "1" to make it "0 Place" - because in most programming languages, arrays start at index 0, not 1. The programmer's smug face in the final panel says it all. He's not celebrating second place, he's celebrating the technically correct place. This is peak programmer pedantry that only true code jockeys would appreciate. The kind of person who'd correct you mid-conversation about proper variable naming conventions.
