It's a good point that, should you ever find yourself accidentally looking at Ctrl+Alt+Del, the title also conveys what you should do: reboot your computer as fast as possible. Like Dominic Deegan, this is one of the worst webcomics on the entire Internet, and much in the same manner it is oddly popular amongst the mentally handicapped. If they ever manage to stumble upon these words, I can expect a comments page akin to a pack of hooting and shit-throwing monkeys. Much like the one in my entry about Deegan, although perhaps with less repressed sobbing.

Ctrl+Alt+Del is one of those awful webcomics which is simultaneously well-known and well-known for being awful. Sure, it has its fans, but unlike Deegan it has a number of folk who are actually aware of how bad it is. In case you are not one of those people, pay heed to my words and leave this place enlightened.

Open your mouth. Not all the way, just relax the muscles and let your jaw hang down. Stare straight ahead, and let your eyelids droop. Smoking a lot of weed might help you attain this pose. Now, imagine that you have to maintain this facial expression all day long.

Because from day fuckin' one to five fuckin' years later, that's all anyone ever does on CAD. Perhaps the corner of the mouth will twitch up in a cruel mockery of a smile, perhaps they will close their slack jaw out of a lack of inane shit to say. But that's CAD art, right there. Pronounce "CAD art" similar to "clip art" because they are brothers. Tim Buckley, the anus from which CAD is discharged, has worn his Ctrl, C and V keys down to a nub.

Like most, by which I mean all, gaming webcomics, CAD hopped on the Penny Arcade bandwagon as it was leaving. On this Oregon Trail of Internet shame, many webcomics died of dysentery. They starved after not shooting enough buffalo. But CAD, like other types of vermin, survived. No, it thrived. It accumulated fans like a plague victim accumulates pustules, and soon became a regular fixture in the morning routines of self-important retards everywhere.


Timothy William Buckley is the son of Maureen and Robert Buckley. Whist both are Irish going back to both their parents, neither of them would be considered so in context as they would have been American citizens for far longer. Yet Buckley claims he is Irish, and by default that means excessive drinking, being an arsehole to everyone and acting "funny" and "whacky".

Often a troublemaker at school and in his teens he has been arrested several times and has spent a few days or so in overnight stay.

Unable to hold a job he shifted through College and eventually dropped out. One day things came to a bit of a climax. A girl he'd been seeing was knocked up and suffered a miscarriage, Tim seeing this as the perfect excuse to break up used it to his full advantage, suffering backlash supreme in the process.

Seeing counseling he was suggested he'd start up something he likes, drawing. And thus CAD was born.

For Tim it was a chance to remake his life, on the internet, and hide away all of the poo poo he'd done in the past.

Between 2003 - 2005 CAD shot up in popularity in a rather surprising scale, and Tim's ego gorged itself on the hits and cash he was pulling in.

The hatred of CAD comes from this, the fact that a comic that relies on sloppy craftsmanship, very bland jokes and often dated and inaccurate references to video games is considered a popular comic.

But other issues quickly cropped up that made him the anti-christ of comics. His behavior at conventions was noted to be brash, unneeded authoritarian, pushing for sales and generally acting down to fans. He was quickly removed from convention invite lists and hasn't been to once since 2006.

The other bombshell was from the allegation that he really likes em young. Back before CAD he was known to openly hit on and engage over the internet girls around the ages of 14 - 16. This even resulted in him sending photos of his genitals.

Such a story was exposed on CAD's own forums and Tim's adamant and steadfast attempt to expunge any reference to it (including banning most of his fans) resulted in him gaining the reputation of being a sensitive callous wanker.

Other stories supporting this came from a poster in YCS who lived with Buckley for a while. She informed that he was stuck in his own world and refused to accept any fault or blame for his actions and that anyone else was merely against him. He also assaulted someone so that he wouldn't be distracted from his six hour binge at Soul Caliber in order to take out the garbage.

I don't think there's anything I could say, really, to dissuade Buckley from continuing his shitty comic or getting his circlejerk to stop circlejerking. But to you so far untainted, stay the fuck away from this webcomic.
