Okay, here’s the bitch of today’s strip. While I really like the three different vignettes that we see in it on their own merits, the first two go together thematically (one guy who’s enthusiastic about an innovation and one guy who pisses on that innovation), but the third one doesn’t–Dean is commenting on Joe’s analogy, not the innovation itself.
I didn’t realize this until I re-read it right before posting it. But now I like Dean’s line too much to change it. So, on the whole, I like the strip a lot, but it feels sloppy and unfinished. Did anyone else feel the same way? Hopefully the only person who’s bothered by this is me.
Anyway, thanks for coming! Since we switched to Tuesdays and Thursday (ie, the days Penny Arcade and XKCD don’t post), we’ve had crazy traffic coming through. We’re glad to have you! Stick around–maybe Thursday I won’t be so keen on berating myself.
Joe
