It's time to Mole comment on the previous strips, just because he wants to! Anyway, let's do it...<br /><br />701: I like this. It's a series of micro-jokes, and though most of them are "meh", they make up for that with number. Also, what's with Randall and bobcats and Prius? And, yes, longcat is just damn wrong. For comparison, I have a dachshund and a yorkshire at home, and the doxy's foortprints are just like any other dogs prints. I know, petty, but I care! And the knight might look better if it wasn't walking in so short steps. Bah, this comic was mediocre.<br /><br />702: Oh, look, it's High-Schooler Randy, defying the system once again! Yay! Seriously, what he spoke of in the first panel might be wrong, but I wouldn't know, since this sort of thing is unexistant down here(honor clubs, not the logical fallacy invoked). Anyway, it's not a tautology, it's circular reasoning, which I think is more related to begging the question. I like the tautology club joke, but, here's a nitpicking: why does that woman have a cup in her hand? Isn't this a high school thing? I have no idea anymore. Next!<br /><br />703: Oh, look, Randall is misinterpreting concepts again. And it's logic once again! Heck, I was thinking he'd do a "confusing people with the truth value of conditional statements" on 704, but, luckily, he didn't. Still, this one is stupid. I'm not sure if it's the idiocy of the premise, if it's the complete misuse of the rule in hand or the "your mom" joke... Let's just finish this, eh?<br /><br />704: I don't quite remember who said it but... yes, a bad case of telling instead of showing. This comic *could* be made awesome if Randall had put on the effort of drawing what the terrorist is reporting, but no! Instead he gives us... a guy with a gun, a goatee and a radio in a white background. With text! WHAT. Mediocrity, mediocrity, mediocrity. And the joke? Mediocre. A steaming puddle of mediocrity.<br /><br />And that's it for the last weeks in xkcd, as reported by the Mole. Not that anyone cares, but I'm feeling fine.
