The Spreadsheet

January 12, 2026Strip #8 of 20

4-panel comic: Panel 1 - Colleague confidently: 'It's all in the spreadsheet!' Panel 2 - Hodl opens spreadsheet hopefully. Panel 3 - 47 tabs at bottom with no labels. Cell A1 says 'DAVE'S FORMULAS - DO NOT TOUCH'. Panel 4 - Hodl: 'Who... who is Dave?' Colleague walking away: 'He left in 2019.' — Starring: Hodl McDougall

Sound Familiar?

Every company has a Dave. Someone who built critical infrastructure, documented nothing, and vanished. Their spreadsheet remains — 47 tabs, zero labels, formulas nested seven layers deep. Touch nothing. Pray always.

Learn the skill: Lab 2.3: Excel — Decode Dave’s legacy. Break free from spreadsheet tyranny.
