These institutions always appear ultra-serious from the outside, but in the inside they are just an anthill of idiots running around in absurd bureaucracy.

- anthk 3y agoHeh, the ultimate Spanish slapstick comic book called "Mortadelo y Filemón", which first began parodying Sherlock Holmes and, next, James Bond, it's a more proper depiction about who idiotic state agencies where in Spain in the 70s-80's, if not worldwide. Imagine a more idiotic duo than Don Quixote and Sancho Panza but in a modernish set, a la Supeagent 86, where the Spanish CIA-like agency it's filled with dumb, incompetent agents and superiors everywhere fighting outdated technology and with an 'IT'/scientic lab with a mad doctor proposing crazy inventions to fight the crime... And the IRL depiction wasn't that far fetched... In the Arpanet days, a lot of people walked 'inside' the net as if your aunt Gertrude walked inside an official secret bulding carelessly without too much effort...
- foobarian 3y agoThat sounds a lot like the Italian Alan Ford comic.
- anthk 3y agoClose, but MyF began in the 50's. Later, with the first James Bond films, the UFO craze, mad/futuristic technology an such, MyF stepped up from being private detectives to become full members of an parodic agency. And, as Alan Ford, the critizised the Spanish society/politics as well.
