It's not often that the CIA's Publications Review Board, which decides what a former employee can and can't write about the agency, finds a cartoon strip in its in-box.
But awhile back it found itself screening National Security Drone, the strips of a former CIA man who goes by the name of Frank Naif, for classified info. (Naif/Naive -- get it?)
And now Naif (whose real name is being witheld at his request), has self-published a collection of his strips, called Super Secret: Bungling and Crookery, starring ... Frank Naif, cynical spook.
As the title suggests, Naif pours a lot of acid commentary on his former employer (lightly disguised as the National Security Office), which comes off as a collection of cloak-wearing Dilberts.
"Oh for @#$% sake!" Naif complains in one of the strips. "Now I'm gonna be on some kinda falafel watch list!"
Now that's funny.

Would I be naive to interpret Amazon's "Temporarily out of stock" tag as simply indicative of robust sales? ;O)
