If only they could find an old shed door to cross the river.

The similarities between this ongoing xkcd and _why's most recent publican are really interesting. Thematically I find the stories very similar, they feel as though they come from the same author to me (I know Randall is not _why). Their choice of delivery also come to mind.

I am very happy there are more dedicated people than myself in the world, otherwise I would miss out on these stories unfolding.




>I know Randall is not _why

Now that's a conspiracy theory I can get behind.


That Jack Black looking dude really is Jack Black. Randall hired him to play his alter ego, _why, in public appearances.


I know what you mean. I stopped at the first frame. Two people lying on a beach, with popup text "Wait for it."

I thought that was pretty poetic. Then it turned out it was just the first frame.


The time overlap is quite odd, but you have to remember that _why had been planning for the pages he sent us to arrive since March last year. Also, Randall's wife has cancer, and the poetic and unfathomable comic may be an explanation of the struggles the two are going through.

Although some of the novella that _why sent us WAS sent this year.
