I watch CSI:Miami, but never saw it as a meme. Actually, I always thought the sunglasses thing was very 80's and that Horatio was sort of taken off of that. So, to me, the comic was a pun with a reference. Pun was the comic, reference added for fun.<br /><br />But even if it's an old meme, I don't care. Partly because I like old memes. But, more importantly, it added that beat, panel 4, that was needed to make the pun work. If you were making this pun in real life, you'd add that beat. Without something happening in the fourth panel, it's either just spreading the text of two panels which feels sloppy or loses the beat which loses the joke.Way Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-10865610219671222512009-08-21T15:27:52.237-07:002009-08-21T15:27:52.237-07:00Alright, I know there's no "winning"...Alright, I know there's no "winning" in a comment section, but. I feel the need to stand my ground here.<br /><br />I starting reading XKCD almost entirely to see quick jokes done well. If he made the comic <a href="http://xkcd.com/64/" rel="nofollow">"Solar Plexus"</a> now, how many people would see it as a cop-out? And yet, reading that strip was the moment I knew I was hooked.<br /><br />Half the reason I started seeking out this blog is that Randall stopped making things like this. He started trying to add shit, making everything more complicated, and he started to fail at timing. His ego has gotten bigger, so now he's making an Art Work, and why should I make myself laugh if I can make my audience laugh with less work? Anyway, my reviews all have something to do with the execution, not the joke.<br /><br />Today's joke was fast and punny. I like 'em that way.

I genuinely wasn't expecting it!<br /><br />I guess I'm in the minority here, but I don't think this was a case of "quick, make this pun funnier". If I had thought of this scene myself, I would have thought of it exactly like this, sunglasses and all, and I would have giggled to myself in line at the supermarket while everyone wondered what's so funny about Tic-Tacs.HateBottleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11387600033887140826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-37273793650829364742009-08-21T15:09:56.843-07:002009-08-21T15:09:56.843-07:00I should clarify something.

It actually ends the comic nicely, without Leibniz saying "I hate you" after the punchline. Though I may be biased; I'm the kind of guy who doesn't shy away from well-timed "that's what she said" jokes, despite them being older than dirt.<br /><br />I'm a sucker for timing, and Randall made made his pun work despite an old joke.
