WARNING! The punchline depends on having read the previous comic first!

I found this out the hard way.

I think I thought this was better when it was utterly inexplicable, actually.

I had read the previous comic yesterday, just 'cuz I follow the comic, which indeed makes it much more funny.

I am reminded of this excellent LW post from 2009: Head-land versus Real-land.
