Well it's their comic BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 08/10/2010 05:28:55 PM
Do you refuse to buy updated maps because they are "unoriginal"?

I don't see why it is such a big deal.

I thought it was an amusing comic.

Ultimately, it's really not a big deal though, no.

they can do whatever they want with it. If they don't want to make it a bunch of talking heads with a fail punchline (probably 90% of comics these days), more power to them.

I know what it means, and think it applies here. Joel - 08/10/2010 08:25:49 AM 804 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 776 Views

XKCD jumped the shark a long time ago. Ghavrel - 07/10/2010 06:40:54 PM 954 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 351 Views

+1, I usually find about 1 in 4 to be even vaguely funny Isaac - 08/10/2010 12:20:10 AM 809 Views

Randall does research for his comics all the time. Dreaded Anomaly - 07/10/2010 10:55:28 PM 780 Views
