Meh. Joel Send a noteboard - 08/10/2010 01:38:06 PM
You shouldn't have to RESEARCH your webcomic. And I shouldn't need a magnifying glass to read it. Finally, of course: It's been done. By you. It was your version of a "first number one single" or "break out season. " Now it just seems like running out of ideas. I guess that's the price we pay for "updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday" meaning "updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday" instead of "updates every other month, if I feel like it, for the day or two I DO feel like it. " Not that I have any RPG based webcomics in mind here.... ;)


And from what I understand, people were challenging themselves to make their own current versions. He just showed 'em all up.

Telling me unoriginal people are unoriginal isn't exactly a news flash; they show up themselves. I want The Man in the Hat to break s'more minds.

Saying that "things have jumped the shark" has jumped the shark Helene - 07/10/2010 04:01:49 PM 813 Views
"jumped" past tense. Joel - 07/10/2010 04:05:56 PM 704 Views
If you are seriously going to attempt to make a discussion out of it, I think you don't know what Helene - 07/10/2010 04:50:27 PM 771 Views
I know what it means, and think it applies here. Joel - 08/10/2010 08:25:49 AM 730 Views
Yes, I'm already bored of that expression. *NM* snoopcester - 07/10/2010 04:06:57 PM 296 Views
I like that he did this Camilla - 07/10/2010 04:20:05 PM 770 Views
Fair enough; just seems a little repetitive to me. Joel - 08/10/2010 01:35:40 PM 794 Views
Uh. I don't think so. Nate - 07/10/2010 04:24:06 PM 723 Views
Joel - 08/10/2010 01:36:33 PM 675 Views
Nah. It's an update to an extremely popular comic. The internet's changed, so it's reasonable. Gher - 07/10/2010 04:43:01 PM 714 Views
Meh. Joel - 08/10/2010 01:38:06 PM 727 Views

Well it's their comic BlackAdder - 08/10/2010 05:28:55 PM 748 Views
Yes, but it's my right to decide whether it amuses me. Joel - 08/10/2010 05:41:54 PM 1197 Views

You think doing research for an xkcd strip is a BAD thing? Darth_Katie - 07/10/2010 05:58:43 PM 767 Views
I suppose work consists of what a body is obliged to do. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:00:43 PM 730 Views
XKCD jumped the shark a long time ago. Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 06:40:54 PM 886 Views
You can't recover from jumping the shark. That's what it means, it's the beginning of the end. *NM* Helene - 07/10/2010 07:04:55 PM 322 Views
Sounds like you're as mad as a wet hatter. *NM* Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 08:22:54 PM 332 Views
Don't you throw your farberisms at me! *NM* Helene - 08/10/2010 07:44:05 AM 341 Views
This time I agree with Helene; it's the Point of No Return. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:02:23 PM 750 Views
I've found about 3 xkcd's mildly humorous... Wulf`gar - 07/10/2010 06:43:56 PM 880 Views

Obviously you are insane. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/10/2010 05:13:16 AM 345 Views
+1, I usually find about 1 in 4 to be even vaguely funny Isaac - 08/10/2010 12:20:10 AM 735 Views
I often find them funny, but there's a lot of metahumor. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:35:03 PM 726 Views
Randall does research for his comics all the time. Dreaded Anomaly - 07/10/2010 10:55:28 PM 705 Views
It's true. Clover - 08/10/2010 01:23:07 AM 735 Views
The first version was based on guesses where he couldn't find official info *NM* Floffe - 08/10/2010 06:04:45 AM 346 Views
And that's cool, it's just not necessarily FUNNY. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:36:57 PM 733 Views
I guess I like neat comics about as well as LOL comics. Clover - 08/10/2010 07:05:58 PM 755 Views
Ultimately, I do, too, I'm just not sure "comic" is the right word. Joel - 08/10/2010 07:59:39 PM 707 Views
Guess it depends how hard you wanna work for your funny. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:39:05 PM 682 Views
