XKCD Isn't Funny - #1503 - Squirrel Plan

[Halfway to the Sun ...] Heyyyy ... what if this BALLOON is full of acorns?!

I remember this joke from back when I was six and it was about moths wanting to go to the sun. It made more sense then, too: Moths are attracted to really big bright things, unlike squirrels (generally).

Seriously, it's the same joke. Except worse, because it doesn't make as much sense.

I understand that some jokes are just easy to make and that certain pieces of comedy are going to be similar to each other for various reasons, but this is a rehash of a really, really simple joke that kids think up on their own. It's especially obvious when the usual stick figures are swapped out for animals, which has never happened before.
