A much better line would have been, "I didn't have a chance to mention, I put your remote mines away." The next panel would need changing, obviously, but the rest would then work as-is, and keep Mr. Hat from seeming quite so clueless.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580228790308651175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-6012536755394496672008-06-13T12:44:00.000-07:002008-06-13T12:44:00.000-07:00Thank you for the encouragement.

You can always spread the word about this blog if you want, but as it is just commenting is pretty encouraging.<BR/><BR/>I think there are a lot of people who used to like xkcd more and are annoyed at it now, enough so that I know it's not just me. I think are are a greater number who used to like xkcd and are pretending to still like it or forcing themselves to because it's popular, among the right crowds.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-75679057245071235872008-06-10T23:01:00.000-07:002008-06-10T23:01:00.000-07:00I just found this excellent blog tonight, and want...I just found this excellent blog tonight, and wanted to thank you for doing this. I'd been a fan of XKCD for months, then felt like something was off somehow, and not in the geeky references (the CS jokes were clear enough, and I don't even program).<BR/><BR/>Then I learned what white-knighting is, and the despising grew from there. But it's also not a horrible comic, so I still check in on it for the wittier days. <BR/><BR/>YOU, sir, please keep calling the comic out for its worse days. Thank you very much.thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123852112758346209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-33792256814231897912008-06-09T18:57:00.000-07:002008-06-09T18:57:00.000-07:00This is possible.
