XKCD Is Poorly Executed - #1457 - FEEDBACK
I've got pretty simple feelings relating to this one: decent idea, could have been executed better. And considering I've been feeling that way about a lot of comics lately, maybe my blog should be called "XKCD Is Poorly Executed", but that'd be far harder to brand, so just this one post for now.
I could see this joke being presented really well: we could see the full process behind picking up the pineapple and slowly coming to the belief that the pineapple holds the wifi somehow, and then after a longer buildup we find out the wifi is just randomly varying.
As it stands, this comic isn't really bad, but I feel like the pineapple is just a bit of "lol, random" rather than something that was actually thought about as part of the joke.
There's also a problem with the caption. "can make you crazy" just reads weirdly to me, like "I can drive you their house."
In conclusion, I watched Silence of the Lambs the other day and it was awesome, 10/10 would recommend.
