I think it's a great idea, but I have to ask... What's with the hotdog? :)

As much as I love the line "Fedora tastes great with ketchup!" I have
to wonder how serious you are with this? ;)

Anyway, should we comment on the comics themselves or on the design of
the installer? If the latter, here are two things I noticed after
skimming it:

- Why does she have to click her mouse to log in on the Live version?
- "Please wait while we examine your disk drive(s)" is pretty long,
what's wrong with "Examing disk drives..." ?

As for the comic idea:

- Woah, Design Comics is excellent!
- What do you want to use this for? Is it "just for" a blog post or do
you really want to use it as a usability review?
- If it's to be used as a review, i'm not sure if the Windows bashing
is a really necessary. I'm guessing, though, that you wanted Andrea to
have an incentive to try out Fedora?
