User Friendly

A product that is user friendly is one that is easy to use, even for the unexperienced. See User-friendliness.

User Friendly is also the name of an online, daily comic strip about a gang of friends who operate a small, Linux-based ISP. The strip's humor tends to be centered around technology jokes, and so-called nerd humor.

It is drawn and authored by J.D. "Illiad" Frazer. It is considered to be one of the first major webcomics, and has been running since 1997. Its popularity inspired many other webcomics with similar themes, the most popular being Penny Arcade and PvP.

User Friendly is now published in a variety of newspapers, as well, making it one of the first webcomics to make the transition from the net to the mainstream.
