That’s right, Daku is a stern taskmaster and his insistence in nothing less than perfection has led to a swath of layoffs here at Digital Strips which cut into our once happy family and made us the meager team you now see.

Or, this could be entirely fictionalized and just made a good, topical subject for a strip. My bet’s on that one, given the obvous discrepancies between Daku of DS: The Comic Strip and his real life counterpart.

And if you ask me, a cartoon featuring marionettes of the whole DS cast is a winner no matter how you slice it.
