Online charity auction site Charitybuzz posted a unique opportunity last week — for the right price, two lucky Apple fans can have coffee with Apple's CEO, Tim Cook. The auction has exploded across the web, so far reaching more than $600,000 with 17 days left to bid (a record for Charitybuzz).
In this Sunday Comic, our friends Nitrozac and Snaggy at The Joy of Tech pose an amusing question: What if other, less auspicious companies' CEOs followed suit? Would their auctions be nearly as successful? Probably not.
