Someone told us once that anyone could do this comic, and we agreed! That's where we came up with the Random Comic Generator (http://explosm.net/rcg), when we reached the comic creation singularity and replaced everyone with this machine! We're continuing our march towards replacing humans by taking the idea one step further with the Random Comic Generator Game! No more having to "talk" with your "friends" at "parties", now you can replace all that boring crap with a game that writes the funny for you!
