#327: Exploits of a Mom explain
[Mrs. Roberts receives a call from her son’s school on her wireless phone. She is standing with a cup of hot coffee or tea (shown with a small line above the cup) facing a small round three-legged table to the right. The voice of the caller is indicated to come from the phone with a zigzag line.]
Voice over the phone: Hi, This is your son’s school. We’re having some computer trouble.
[In this frame-less panel Mrs. Roberts has put the cup down on the table turned facing out.]
Mrs. Roberts: Oh, dear – did he break something?
Voice over the phone: In a way –
[Mrs. Roberts is now drinking from the cup again looking right. The table is not shown.]
Voice over the phone: Did you really name your son Robert’); DROP TABLE Students;– ?
Mrs. Roberts: Oh, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him.
[Mrs. Roberts holds the cup down.]
Voice over the phone: Well, we’ve lost this year’s student records. I hope you’re happy.
Mrs. Roberts: And I hope you’ve learned to sanitize your database inputs.
