Ah, the classic tale of CS degree expectations vs. reality. That first panel shows the innocent joy of someone who thinks "Hello World" is the hardest thing they'll ever code.

When your horror game project goes through executive review and marketing focus groups... Started with a terrifying monster bus straight from your nightmares, ended with dancing unicorns and DJs with sunglasses.
