BigLurks, Friday, 9 May 2008 18:34 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't get the -π Oak St. thing

Well, ln(-1) = natural logarithm of -1 is an imaginary number (or doesn't exist, depending). Mr. Stick Guy is missing her so much that he sends her postcards to a nonexistent address because he feels like she doesn't actually exist. The oak st. part doesn't mean anything.

I used Seashore to make the first cartoon.

i'm really sad that the foxtrot comic is just "references = funny" insted of having a joke.

Which is what usually separates Foxtrot from an actual webcomic.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 27 July 2008 03:54 (fifteen years ago) link

which was the webcomic that was just people referencing "Punk Rock Girl" in a pizza shop? That bummed me out.

Foxtrot is like Norman Mailer-level insight when put up against any web comic in existence.

You should know that I have a black belt in challops so don't think you aren't going to pay for that remark.

I mean, we had that thread about "is there any good webcomics" and I think all we came up with was Perry Bible Fellowship.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 27 July 2008 07:40 (fifteen years ago) link

It's more a comment of how bad webcomics are, as opposed to how good Foxtrot is, which I haven't really looked at since, like, seventh grade.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 27 July 2008 07:41 (fifteen years ago) link

deeznuts, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 13:47 (fifteen years ago) link

XKCD is more than a comic. It's a metaphor for a life that is just not working right. It's a sigh. It's a cry out for attention. It's a little boy who was raised by a television, and then we wonder why he lashes out and breaks the neighbors arm, and then he has to visit him at the hospital, but he doesn't want to and he screams until his mother says he doesn't have to go to the hospital but for once she would like to have a normal family.
