Comic is as comic does
April 27, 2008 by Giulio Piancastelli
Well, have you noticed that the latest PhD comic strip changed overnight? (I mean, my night; I don’t know the time zone of my less-than-25-on-average readers.)
This is what currently appears on their site:
But yesterday night (that is, uhm, at least 20 hours ago) the third and fourth scenes (what’s the proper English term? I can’t remember it… I don’t even know if I have ever know it!) were different!
Third scene
Mike Slackenerny: Do I really have that much independence?
Professor Smith: Given how much I’ll ignore you, yes.
Fourth scene
Mike Slackenerny: Have you ever done a post-doc?
Professor Smith: Heavens, no! I wasn’t that lame.
So, uhm, I wonder: why has it ever been changed?…
(Oh, and if you have noticed this post categorized as personal, well, yes, it’s because it’s personal.)
it would have had two punchlines in just one strip, which is a bit unorthodox. Something tells me that they’ll keep the other joke for a future strip.
