− | + | The basis for this fairly simple xkcd comic is the subject riddle, which is properly answered, as given in the title text: "Hell if I know". When spoken, this "correct" answer sounds like "elefino" – a {{w|portmanteau}} of "'''eleph'''ant" and "rh'''ino'''". This makes it again one of the early comics where Randall explains the comic via the title text. | |
− | + | Instead of giving the punchline of the joke, Randall answers with the unexpected "I haven't a goddamn clue", which, while having the same meaning, ruins the joke. | |
