Kentwashere: GENESIS.

kent was here. I don't like scones very much, and am tired of 17% of items I pick up without looking being scones.

Kentwashere: cleaned up my own formatting

This comic is unique (or, if not unique, certainly uncommon) in the continuity of XKCD in that it relies purely on physical humor of a sort that usually belongs to more lowbrow comics, TV shows or movies. Most of XKCD's humor is based on cleverness, curiosity, social frustrations or quirks, or analysis of our world – comparatively "intellectual" humor. In this comic, none of that is present; instead, the only "joke" centers around Cueball being physically assaulted. Interesting.

:Well there is [[677]] "Green Flash", in which the only "joke" centers around the idea of Black Hat knocking Cueball unconscious so he can steal his car. And I believe there are any number of comics where one of the protagonists is pummeled or otherwise harmed, either on or off panel, with the intent that we laugh at it. I believe there is a continuum of such humor in xkcd, along with all the "intellectual" humor as well. I don't think this one is interesting on that particular basis.

::No no, 677 is the one where [[Beret Guy]] gets a backhoe and hits [[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] with the digger. I think you're referring to [[766]]. [[User:MrGameZone|0100011101100001011011010110010101011010011011110110111001100101]] ([[User talk:MrGameZone|talk page]]) 20:56, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
