“throughout our research we have found numerous deficiencies and hostilities in Google’s approach to privacy that go well beyond those of other organizations. While a number of companies share some of these negative elements, none comes close to achieving status as an endemic threat to privacy.”

So, the strip is dead, or will rise from its ashes?
I don’t know, but I will continue to check everyday! Twice a day!
New strip plz.
Checking for new strip every day (although authomatically). There is still hope :) They couldn’t have run out of ideas so quickly, it must be other activities interfering.
Inspired by ELER, I started a new webcomic called Bushy and Mushy. I’ve just created one: but I have no idea whether I’ll do it regularly.
I’d love your feedback on this – just check the latest post on my blog for the comic. :)
come on, come on, how long do we have to wait!
Waiting for John; seems a bit strange, right Vladimir?
“Published at the precise moment you give up hope and stop checking”
I refuse giving up my hope!

“I refuse giving up my hope!”
Oh so it’s all your fault then
Perhaps the joke is more subtle this time in that it’s continually reflecting ESR’s current relevance to the community.
JBoy is obviously right about ESR’s non-relevance to the community, but that doesn’t diminish in the least ESR’s ability to be mercilessly mocked in hilarious web comics.
We need a new ELER comic now!!!

I just keep coming to read the reader’s comments.
you’re not alone
Do not try to force the strip; that’s impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth: There is no strip.

Do you know any way to contact the John Leach fella? We need to make him feel the pressure.
According to:
http://johnleach.co.uk/
We can start bothering John to post a new comic via:
john@johnleach.co.uk
And he further states:
“You can find me on MSN messenger with the same e-mail address, john.leach@jabber.org on Jabber and on VOIP at johnleach@ekiga.net”
Let’s guilt him into making us more funny stuff to look at!

In a post-Snowdenian world that third picture was scaringly accurate.
