215: Letting Go
| Letting Go |
 Title text: At least I never gave her the root password. |
Explanation
This comic references the Unix command userdel, which means deleting a user's account, in connection with breaking up with a loved one. The user in the picture, separated with a woman called Megan, deletes her account at his computer as the indication that the relationship is finally broken.
The alt text continues the theme of Unix terminology in relationships, as the root password means complete access to the system.
