Scary Triangles [Explained]

Transcript

[Cueball points with a stick to a poster hanging behind him to the left. The poster has a diagram of a shark. The dorsal fin is shown above a wavy surface of water. The part of the outline of the shark that are under water are drawn in dashed lines. There are unreadable text in the top and bottom left corner, and two labels with lines that points to its dorsal fin and its gills. Cueball's stick points to the label near the gills]

Cueball: Today's marine biology lecture is on sharks. We all know them as the scary triangles of the sea, but recent research has revealed that the triangle is only a small portion of the shark - over 90% of it is hidden beneath the surface.

I'm gonna have to add something to the strum bar so it makes a clicky sound like the old controllers. I'm so used to the feedback; the silence throws me off.

xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles

Writers Strike [Explained]

Transcript

[Cueball sits in front of a desk with a computer. Black Hat stands behind him.] Cueball: This writer's strike sucks. Black Hat: Why? You don't watch sitcoms. Cueball: Yeah, but it sucks having political campaigns without Jon Stewart's commentary.

[Cueball is off-panel.] Black Hat: True. I finally got sick of it a couple weeks ago. Cueball: And you quit following the campaigns?

[Black Hat points at a door. Cueball is still off-panel.] Black Hat: No. I kidnapped Jon Stewart to do analysis for me. Cueball: You what? Black Hat: He's locked in the basement.

[Black Hat is shouting at the door. Black Hat: Jon! Obama's leading in Iowa! Gimme a wry, witty comment on the situation! Jon Stewart [Voice coming from door]: Please let me go. I have a family.

[night-vale-heritage-posts]

[Image ID: An edited XKCD meme with two stick figures having a conversation.

"Night Vale lore is second nature to us fans, so it's easy to forget that the average person only knows the strexcorp takeover arc and one or two intern deaths."

"And the glow cloud, of course."

"All hail"]

Inspired by a time when I commented "all hail the glow cloud" on a nextdoor post leading the creator of the post to think i was more original than I actually am
