That story happened in my previous company in January... the idea is to show the absurd things that happen in the software industry, giving them some sense of humor.
While I agree that LOC is a terrible metric, the cartoon is about doing only two commits during the last two months. Whether your refactoring or trying to tackle a big complex problem, you should be commiting every day or two. If you are worried about messing up the main code base that is why svn and cvs have tags and branches. People who don't commit changes often can be nightmare to work with and are often in need of a reprimand. (I have been reprimanded for it before, and I deserved it).
Would you guys mind to repost your thoughts in the codecomics website?
It would be great to have this information attached to the strips as comments.
Thanks in advance!

They missed one reason: maybe he was pairing at other developers' workstations. :-)

I thought cartoons were supposed to be funny? Pretty lame.
