How to scare a programmer

Add Meme
This is a four-panel comic titled "HOW TO SCARE A PROGRAMMER." The first three panels show a ghost repeatedly saying "Boo" to a stick-figure person, who remains unimpressed. In the fourth panel, instead of saying "Boo," the ghost says, "I found a bug," and the stick-figure person screams "AHHHH!!!" in terror. There is also a small bug icon added near the text "I found a bug." This comic humorously depicts how programmers are more scared of software bugs than ghosts.

Bug!
