Huh, that's weird. Randy's agreeing that Google and Facebook have too much control over our lives? I really didn't see that one coming. I could have sworn he was pro-internet pretty much across the board. But no, ShortHair doesn't actually rebut Ponytail at all, the argument is more that we should just accept it.
More familiar is the really annoying way ShortHair responds to Ponytail's sentence with a paragraph. Imagine if people in real life talked like that as much as they do in XKCD, every other conversation would turn into a full on debate. Horrible! It'd be like tumblr in the real world, except without the porn and children's cartoons and porn of children's cartoons.
As usual with these kinds of comics, the best possible result is "agreement chuckles", which are to actual laughter what half a shoe is to a full steak meal. (The worst possible result is, of course, this blog)
In other news, Questionable Content has been pretty lame recently, and The Webcomics Review has been doing a great job of a running commentary. Check it out! It's good!
