Wil, tell us how you totally failed your save against “OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU’RE RANDALL MUNROE” when you met Randall Munroe at Comic-Con.
(There. I’ve done my part.)
Cartoonists play a really important part in our lives, don’t they ? They often say outrageous things that no one else can, act as our collective conscious in politics, assassinate all the serious thoughts that we are having and at the same time entertain ! Wow ! What a role. And how good is it when you actually get to meet them…. actually had lunch with a long time favourite completely by chance (at a huge conference) and their creative processes are soooo interesting as well. The more I think about, the more I want to be a cartoonist when I grow up (something of a challenge at the age of 53 !!!)…
The Swiss Guards are wearing silk pajamas and carrying decorative halberds. The Ghostbusters have unlicensed proton accelerators strapped to their backs. My money’s on Venkman and company.
As a Catholic, I must take offense at this (no – just kidding).
This is hilarious. I love it! But it does remind me that the upcoming game has lost its publisher and might be delayed.
What a great movie and the strip is just awesome!
Bill
He said you totally didn’t become a fangirl when I showed him your tweet on the subject 🙂
Yes, tell us – and we want to see pictures of you and Randall, too!
Oh man, I love it! I’m a huge GB geek (see my uniform at Comic-Con) and xkcd rocks!
Thanks for the early morning laugh to get another work day started off on the right foot!
OMG Wil, I love you but you can’t make me laugh like George McFly in public like that!!! K? K… luvya bubye.
Oh yeah… Happy Jedi day yesterday.
And tell us about Munroe.
And tell us when we can have MattBeck’s t design. Blue only please. I thought red and yellow would be hilarious but depending… they are the ones with cosmic bullseyes over their insignias.
Wil, thank you for including the rollover text when you reproduced this xkcd! So many people don’t bother. 🙂 (And I’d probably have the same reaction if I ever met Randall Munroe.)
Speaking of comics, Wil you should probably check out Real Life Comics today (August 6th):

He did misspell your name though.
🙂
I was JUST going to tell you about Real Life Comics. Mr. Wright beat me to it ^_^
It is awesome though!
You mean Randall Munroe was at Comic-Con and I missed him?! I shouldn’t have wasted all that time at the Dumbrella booth…

It’s probably kinda like how I failed my saving throw vs. “HOLY CRAP YOU’RE WIL WHEATON!” at PAX 07. Then again, I failed that saving throw vs. EVERYONE at PAX 07.
I was hoping to see him there. I was looking. What day did you meet him?
OMG! You met Randall Munroe!!! What’s he like? What’s he like?
Sorry, I failed my saving throw there for a minute. I caught it on the second time though. Let’s try it again.
Hey, that’s cool or, uh, whatever.
Since I’m not catholic, I supposed I shouldn’t be offended at that. Yet as a born-again Christian who does the read the Bible and believe in the Trinity, I’m kinda disappointed.
But, we’re all entitled to our own opinion and sense of humor. So, I’ll just leave it at that. Just my two cents.
The monks were not offended by this. In fact, in true Quintesson like tradition, we allowed ourselves a short chuckle.
That’s eerie weird. My son and I just joked about that the other day… and neither one of us has seen that strip!
