Is it just me, or does the caption cast a shadow? | Is it just me, or does the caption cast a shadow? | ||
:I didn't spot it, but when I zoomed in, yup, there's a grey "shadow", particularly the top line, particularly "onto" and the W in "law" (looks like the black version the W is sloppier). I think Randal does a draft first - in physical form this would be pencil, not sure if XKCD is purely digital - to plan out, like checking letter spacing, then does the final version over the draft, and the grey is that draft.

The DMB song referenced in the tooltip is "Crash Into Me" [[User:Jdavis103|Jdavis103]] ([[User talk:Jdavis103|talk]]) 20:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC) | The DMB song referenced in the tooltip is "Crash Into Me" [[User:Jdavis103|Jdavis103]] ([[User talk:Jdavis103|talk]]) 20:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC) | ||
Okay, other than name-dropping Reseda, Ventura Blvd., and Mulholland, I'm not sure how those lyrics would translate to THAT flight path, :) (for example, why is THAT "the shadows"? Looks mountainous, is that a name/nickname for those mountains? Why is the skywriting incident THERE, and spirals?) And WEIRD coincidence, lately I've been looking into a Family Guy joke about Dave Matthews! Peter has Dave's head as a punching bag, punching it does a scat I find familiar, I'm sure it's famous, but I'm having trouble identifying it (then he switches it for David Lee Roth doing Just A Gigolo, THAT one is easy) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 05:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC) | Okay, other than name-dropping Reseda, Ventura Blvd., and Mulholland, I'm not sure how those lyrics would translate to THAT flight path, :) (for example, why is THAT "the shadows"?
