I think it suffers from the things with which XKCD seems to be chronically afflicted--overly long gag, surfeit of panels, etc. However, the joke in and of itself is decent. The concept--as far as I know--isn't plagiarized.

No...First of all, take a fucking chill pill Fernie. Nothing justifies allcaps.<br /><br />Second of all, if dark humor is tacky, I don't want to be classy.<br /><br />And actually, I liked 676 for the same reason... that we manipulate grand, epic movements with every stroke of our fingers and become architects of incomprehensibly complex reactions to accomplish something headdeskingly stuipd and banal. It's like 676 and 722 are calling you out for reading them. Saying, "What a worthless person you are to have read this terrible comic".<br /><br />Of course, this is almost certainly not what the author intended; my enjoyment of these comics is in my interpretation of them. It's the metahumor of revealing all of the comic, and in fact all of the humor on the internet as a dark, ugly joke of itself.Bretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-60684617126914753782010-04-05T13:11:22.216-07:002010-04-05T13:11:22.216-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941777721487372367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-277048800029727082010-04-05T13:07:44.745-07:002010-04-05T13:07:44.745-07:00I'd like to link you to a wonderful explanatio...I'd like to link you to a wonderful explanation of "ad hominem" attacks that someone wrote on some blog a while back, but for the life of me, I can't remember what blog it was written on...Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941777721487372367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-27182062062424818352010-04-05T12:49:59.573-07:002010-04-05T12:49:59.573-07:00Josh's blog is a pretty terrible thing.

His poems remind me of the poems a weird girl with purple hair in my eighth grade English class wrote, and they are all of the same quality: bad. Many of his posts include unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, such as "maniacally narrative effervescence", and pointless metaphors, like in this sentence: "Now, nearly five years later, the word "Katrina" is just a particularly large chunk of ice in the Bush Administration's eight year avalanche of inadequacies." That's right, an avalanche of inadequacies. That is how I would describe Josh's blog if I had to use a stupid metaphor.<br /><br />On January 15th, 2010, in an attempt to populate his blog with posts, he posted a really crappy Dark Knight commentary that he wrote in July 2008. The commentary was overall very bad; at one point Heath Ledger's talent was described as "hot, glistening, throbbing". This commentary made me wonder if he didn't have any more worthy things to post. Clearly he did not, and in fact had even worse things to post, as evidenced by everything else on his blog.
