Comic Fools

[drwex]

People who read certain popular-with-our-crowd Web comics via RSS feeds might have missed this so I thought I'd point it out. Sorry if it's old news.

As I do each morning I reloaded my "comics page" - a Firefox window with 10-12 tabs open to various web comics. On the Questionable Content page, I got today's Qwantz. OK, I figured it was a simple joke, substituting one comic for another. Until mizarchivist reported that, no, she'd read the actual QC via the RSS feed and what drugs was I on anyway?

I then noticed that the URL had been redirected to qwantz.com - cute. This reminded me that I have wanted to add that strip to my comics page so I created a new tab and went to load up qwantz.com... which promptly gave me xkcd.com!

Sure enough, attempting to load xkcd.com directly brought me back around to questionablecontent.com, which has an amusing note in the Twitter-like "what am I doing" box. Go read it if you find jokes of this sort funny. I got a chuckle out of it.

Yes, actually, I saw this... and I freaked for moment, because "WTF? where's my QC?"

But then I realized it was April 1st and that going to the Qwantz home site brought me to xkcd.com so I tried xkcd.com and finally got my QC.

My VP also asked me to participate in a Fools joke as well. *shakes head* I claimed amnesty when it was over.

And blk reports that yafgc.shipsinker.com has Order of the Stick. I'm curious to see how many of these people find today.
