Since Joy of Tech is itself a subsection of the Geek Culture web site, I don't think this is the best place to merge the authors' information. For now I would just keep them separate, but if we ever create an article for their main site then perhaps merge into that. – Abe Dashiell ( t/ c) 15:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
I decided to look for sources for this webcomic. It's not nothing... The best I've found is this really crappy Fortune article, which features the ridiculous suggestion that this is "the second oldest (after userfriendly.org)... geek-centric comic strip." Mashable posts The Joy of Tech strips and writes blurbs for them, but don't really write anything about the webcomic. The authors seem to have published a book, but that doesn't help much with notability. In general, pop news websites like this webcomic, but it doesn't really have any notability, so I'm not complaining about the PROD. ~ Mable ( chat) 17:20, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
@ Maplestrip and Piotrus: To counter this notion, I would suggest deeper Googling. The Joy of Tech has been around for 17 years - it's a legendary, well-established and still incisive tech-humor comic. The Best of The Joy of Tech was published by O'Reilly Media, a major producer of computer-related books in late 2003.
There are many references to JoT in print and around the Web, going back over a decade. For example:
JoT is currently listed on Patreon as a subscription option to provide future funding for the comic: https://www.patreon.com/joyoftech
