It bothers me that this comic establishes both a baker's day and a baker's fortnight, but that the baker's fortnight is a multiple of regular days instead of baker's days. Bakers are not idiots, they are in it for the money. 15 x 25hrs is going to eat up more than a half of a day's profit compared ...

I don't see any inconsistency in the title text. There is the typo in the word virtually. Instead of using two 50s he used one 100. Math works out but it makes for a problem in the spelling.
Aside from that I do have a bit of a headache coming on.

I much prefer this to the actual Alt Text.

Hmmm, There is a Chestnut Street in Vancouver so maybe Vancouver was filling in Lower Manhattan. Like it did for the Bronx in Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx. Good movie for Jackie Chan fans and people who know there are no snow capped mountains visible from New York City.

I rather like the Radiostehescope.

None of these made any sense until I picked up my hammer and saw.

Please turn this off.

Expansion to absurdity.

Good old Wall Warts.

I doubt the contagion is specific to handedness. One of your hands will explode, the other will go all skinny.

Spend the money and get Gary Larson to draw the tractors.

If it was Beret Guy instead of Cueball doing this there wouldn't be any surprise.

They switched the type of Map Projection, projecting a sphere (the earth) onto a plane. It is something with a fair number of cartoons from Randal.

This goes up there with my favourite "Herman" cartoon. 'But I don't want to be a juror, I want to be a witness.'

Now we know, What If 2 is announced.

I read this as White Hat is off on a trip, so vacation, to see a show. (perhaps one with Dinosaurs)
But maybe some jobs would have this as standard, thinking doctors.

Isn't Randal afraid of raptors? Shouldn't any normal person be afraid of them? So I guess tomorrow he is going to where ever the Jurassic park stories are set.

That ball looks rather more angular than they usually are. Naturally-occurring soccer balls/footballs start out as polyhedra. The ones on Earth have been eroded to a more spherical shape over time, but since Saturn has a different atmosphere, its soccer ball is still angular. Okay. So the big footb...

"Oh, I see" said the blind man when he picked up a hammer and saw.

And it has finally made it to its orbit. Space is big.

Now there is a wingtip visible, and the tentacle/tail/scarf up above.

Can't figure out why Liquid is missing from the top of the list. Or is it supposed to be implied by the word Tea.
