[One large frame with a five part comic and a large red button at the bottom.]

[Cueball sitting behind a desk.]

Cueball: We’ve made a huge mistake.

Desk: XKCD.COM

[Cueball stands and indicates a motley collection of computers and related equipment strewn around the desk.]

Cueball: I figured starting a cloud services company would be easy.

Cueball: After all, I’ve got tons of computers!

[A zoomed view on Cueballs head.]

Cueball: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr— they all struggle to protect privacy and user data…

Cueball: And we offered a solution.

Cueball: I forget what it was, though.

[Cueball is standing with his arms up.]

Cueball: Anyway, long story short, we screwed up immediately and lost tons of their data.

Cueball: Also a bunch of stuff is literally on fire?

[Cueball standing behind a desk.]

Cueball: We can fix this.

Cueball: But we need your help.
