Ed Piskor talks Wizzywig at the 2013 Notacon

Wizzywig is an American comic book series written and drawn by Ed Piskor.[1][2] It deals with Kevin J. "Boingthump" Phenicle, Jr. a young prodigy who becomes fascinated with social engineering, phone phreaking, and eventually computer hacking.[2][3]

The title of the series refers to the computer term, WYSIWYG, an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get" — software which allows content to be edited in a form that resembles its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, such as a printed document, web page, or slide presentation.
