LOL: comic strips about how a web design goes straight to hell. Most freelance designers have probably suffered this before.

Hi Nick!
I like your Redesign very much! Looks cool! But would you be so kind and release your previous phoenix theme in your freebies section or on smashing magazine? Maybe as a gift to your fans?
Wish you merry christmas and a happy new year!
Greetings

Yea; I’d have to agree with this one.. only thing it didn’t show was the last 8000 revisions..

This is so true, I believe everyone in the biz has gone thru this.

Despite the fact this is a. A comic b. focused on design- it still mirrors the frustration that is felt by Internet professionals working for clients.

Sad but true. Some people love Comic Sans and stuff like it. They all should be killed, don’t you think? ;)

I don’t get it..He kills himself because his design is really good but took much time? o-o;

its may sound funny when reading it like this;
but that’s exactly what happened to me not too long ago -.- worst bit was after changing so many stuffs; payment was not made; the client canceled out on me

I didn’t find this funny at all. It hit a little to close to home. I did like the picture of the client drawing with the designer… that was hilarious.

this is so true, you give a client a nice design and then they want to change like the whole site hahahaha i dont even understand the word “pop and edgy” and now there’s a design that pops! :>

I knew this was gonna be hilarious when I realized it was from The Oatmeal. This comic is so true, it’s sad. A company I had worked for previously actually set a limit of three revisions in the contract because of clients like this.
