XKCD Isn't Funny - #1510 - Napoleon


Pretty much my only (main) issue with this comic is the choice of target, which is a sentiment I remember expressing before, possibly with those exact words.

Seriously, why Napoleon of all people? He only came back one time, and I wouldn't even say that he's particularly known for that comeback. At least in my experience, Napoleon's more associated with "Exhibit A on why you don't invade Glorious Mother Russia", and "Waterloo defeat". That second one's important, because when one of the things he's most famous for is loosing, making jokes about how unstoppable he his seems a little off.

Here's an idea: As long as we're using people who've only come back once, why not Jesus? It's not like Randy's shied away from making religious jokes before.

That last panel is also fairly unclear. It almost looks like Napoleon's finally taken over the world and we're going to the moon by his command. I really don't think it would be spelling out the joke if "... but so we can finally get rid of this asshole" or something was added to the end of it.
