Nah. It's an update to an extremely popular comic. The internet's changed, so it's reasonable. Gher Send a noteboard - 07/10/2010 04:43:01 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.

Saying that "things have jumped the shark" has jumped the shark Helene - 07/10/2010 04:01:49 PM 900 Views
"jumped" past tense. Joel - 07/10/2010 04:05:56 PM 771 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 848 Views
I know what it means, and think it applies here. Joel - 08/10/2010 08:25:49 AM 799 Views
Yes, I'm already bored of that expression. *NM* snoopcester - 07/10/2010 04:06:57 PM 324 Views

XKCD jumped the shark a long time ago. Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 06:40:54 PM 951 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 350 Views

+1, I usually find about 1 in 4 to be even vaguely funny Isaac - 08/10/2010 12:20:10 AM 804 Views
I often find them funny, but there's a lot of metahumor. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:35:03 PM 797 Views
Randall does research for his comics all the time. Dreaded Anomaly - 07/10/2010 10:55:28 PM 775 Views
It's true. Clover - 08/10/2010 01:23:07 AM 800 Views
The first version was based on guesses where he couldn't find official info *NM* Floffe - 08/10/2010 06:04:45 AM 375 Views
And that's cool, it's just not necessarily FUNNY. Joel - 08/10/2010 02:36:57 PM 801 Views
