However, the winning comic was able to repurpose that line to mean "lasting until eleven in the evening" and you don't realize it until the final panel. Especially funny because xkcd had so recently done comics about dials that go to eleven and doctors messing with people, and this comic parodied both while making a coherent story and being funnier than either.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-32845724007451865452010-07-01T15:19:39.290-07:002010-07-01T15:19:39.290-07:00I... this isint that funny...

"did you know doctors work late into the night"; what's that about? how does that have any reference to the rest of the comic? For me it totally ruined the panel above it which was (surprisingly) quite funny.<br /><br />Also, carl.
