XKCD Isn't Funny - #1335 - "NOW"

apparently this comic rotates to fit the actual time zone, so this depiction may or may not be accurate

Geez, what is it with you, Randy? You fluctuate so rapidly between ACF (Actually Pretty Funny), SCHICETAI (Such Complete Horseshit I Couldn't Even Talk About It), and today's IRTC (Infographics Rather Than Comics).

I'm reminded of a quote by Yahtzee from his Top 5 of 2010 video:
"The message Square Enix now seem to be bringing across is: “We just want to make films! How much more gameplay do we need to remove before you’ll figure that out? We’ve pared it down to the point where all you do is clop down linear hallways and their A.I. subroutines do the combat for you. Now stop expecting us to make games so we can remake Spirits Within!” But you just can’t take the hint and stop buying Final Fantasy, can you, you cruel bastards."

Well I don't personally agree with the statement (I'm not much of a game guy) it does reflect how I feel about XKCD. All he wants to do is make infographics and political cartoons, but every time he tries to shift his career, all the people that are still entertained by XKCD jump out of the woodwork and force him to draw stick figures making sex talk at each other again.

And also if you check the forums like I do, you'll see that this is one of at least three revisions he's done, having ballsed it up the last two+.
