+This series is similar to [[Randall Munroe|Randall]]'s [[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby series]], but not as common. The comics in the series give often questionable advice, called "protips", which are very logical but mostly (if ever) only useful in absurd situations. Similar types of advice are also on the [[:Category:Tips|tips category]] and on the [[:Category:How to annoy|How to annoy category]]. Randall has also once given a useful protip to his readers in the [[Header text|header text]] for the comic [[1663: Garden]] due to its complexity, see more on the [[Header text#2016-04-04_-_Protip_on_Garden|header text page]] and on the [[1663:_Garden#Header_text_after_release|comic's page]].

-Protips comes from Gamepro. {{w|Gamepro}} was an American multiplatform video game magazine media company that published online and print content covering the video game industry, video game hardware and video game software. They became most widely famous for its ProTips, small pieces of gameplay tips and advice depicted with game screenshot captions. (The ironic usage is connected to a ProTip provided for the original DOOM: "To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies"--which is the same method used for every other monster in DOOM.)
