Are you an IT professional? Do you spend your time toiling away thanklessly on servers, networks, desktops and answering dumb questions from annoying end users all day long?

Or, on the other hand, are you one of those end users that has to deal with scary and strange IT professionals, who can never seem to answer your questions in plain English and, more often than not, could use a bath or at least a breath mint?

Well, either way, do I ever have something for you!

My newest comedy endeavor is a comic for the web site ITWorld.com, called IT Underworld. The inaugural cartoon has been posted here:

The concept: IT Underworld is the story of George and Elias, two lowly foot soldiers in the IT army of a large company, and their daily battles with clueless end users and meddling executives.

New cartoons will be posted here.

The plan is to produce one cartoon per week, through the end of December. If the reaction is good, we’ll keep it going!

So, please, tell your friends. Pass the word. Visit the site, add a comment, give it a thumbs up. Hell, feel free to tattoo IT Underworld on your forehead.

You get the idea.

That is all.

I don’t know about you, but for me it was a busy week, comedy writing-wise!

On Tuesday, I posted a new Schwilm cartoon, continuing the mock vice presidential debate that started here.

I’m publishing one new Schwilm comic per week. Tell your friends! If you don’t have any friends, tell your enemies!

On Wednesday (10/1/08), David Letterman told not just one but two of my jokes on the Late Show! Here there are:

Sarah Palin is training for tomorrow night’s vice presidential debate in Arizona.

You know you’re in trouble when your debate goal is to do as well as Dan Quayle.

Then came Thursday, featuring the long awaited, not-to-be-duplicated vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin! During the debate I was Twittering like crazy. Here are some highlights:

08:00 PM October 02, 2008 right about now joe biden is combing his hair plugs.

10:34 PM October 02, 2008 dang, i was hoping biden would pat palin on the ass on the way out.

If you’re on Twitter, be sure to follow me follow here. I’ll be commenting live during the last two presidential debates, so be sure to check it out!

Finally, on Friday, Dave Letterman closed out his monologue by telling another one of my jokes!

John McCain watched the debate and loved Sarah Palin’s performance.

As a matter of fact he applauded so much all of the lights in his house kept going on and off.

Oh yeah, let’s not forget that Friday also featured O.J. Simpson getting sent to the hoosegow for a good long time!

Next week will have a hard time matching up…
