But it's ha...you are right. I will correct it.<br /><br />But it's hardly "recent" shittiness anymore - this post is more than a year old.

Usually it refers to the informal logical fallacy of assuming the exact thing you're trying to prove within an argument. What I think you should have said is "raises the question." Also, thanks for the blog, I'm glad people are noticing the recent shittiness of xkcd.DenusThePenushttp://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com/2008/05/vanishing-mr-hat.html#comment-formnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-82155330398830573082009-08-10T14:52:59.084-07:002009-08-10T14:52:59.084-07:00At least Journal 1 was still hat-esque.At least Journal 1 was still hat-esque.Nulonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696072610155482618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-46568315306180182492009-07-28T21:17:35.769-07:002009-07-28T21:17:35.769-07:00I did really hate that arc!

We do see Mr. Hat more than when I wrote this (I wrote it just as Journal was happening) but often he's a watered down lame version, so it's still a problem.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-64949845744785251332009-07-28T16:13:29.954-07:002009-07-28T16:13:29.954-07:00Unless you really hated the Secretary of the Inter...Unless you really hated the Secretary of the Internet arc, I think you may wish to revise your data.

They explained the joke, but he ditched them once he had enough of a geek audience that he didn't feel the need to stab the living shit out of every punchline for the questionable benefit of those who wouldn't like xkcd anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-74924983313183310392008-12-16T02:42:00.000-08:002008-12-16T02:42:00.000-08:00Dammit Carl you have hooked me onto yet another we...Dammit Carl you have hooked me onto yet another webcomic.

Agreed about the alt-text on comic 29. I tend to give him some leeway on those really early ones, but incidentally, as long as we're talking about that alt-text, go read Men In Hats and see just how closely Mr. Hat is based on Aram, who is incidentally a wonderful character.
