Is it just me or does XKCD's site not redirect anywhere?

VGCats and CtrlAltDel haven't been funny for ages. I'm glad one of them had the faux-nads to rip the other a new one, though. Dino Comics FTW!

Checked VG Cats this morning the moment I turned my PC on. That CAD crossover comic made me laugh so hard, that my brother woke up and told me to shut up.
I like this day because you can find some of the best pranks in the Interwebs. Too bad we celebrate this day until December 28th here in Mexico. *sigh*

the recycle symbol was a good fit for all of these comics.

Why? It's not like that jerkoff doesn't deserve it. That VG Cats by the way is just one in the recent trend he's had of sucking less than usual. Maybe John Solomon got him thinking "I should start giving a rat's ass about my comic again"?

Good evening Mr Miller. May I call you Ross?
Thank you.
I have been waiting all day for this. The inevitable "Weekly Webcomic Wrapup will return this Saturday"
Keep your apologies.
Allow me to explain something to you. My life is filled with many amazing ups and downs. More downs than ups. To get through the days I have to find something to look forward to. Something to focus on.
For example, I look forward to Sunday Mornings when I can have a big breakfast and read Jeremy Clarkson's rantings:
http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/jeremy_clarkson/
The Weekly Webcomic Wrapup or WWW as I like to call it , is one another of those things I look forward to.
The next time you're (yes, I'm holding you personally accountable) too busy to post; think of me, and everyone else who clings unto life by nothing else except blind hope and an extraordinary amount of denial.
Please.

Can I just say first that I'm not a fan of CAD or Tim Buckley, infact I dislike the latter intensely. However, I find it rich that VGCats, a webcomic devoid of humour, relying on 10 minute chibi/anime crap art mixed with a predictable joke about whatever meme Scott has 'luld' at that day can make fun of another webcomic which, although poor, is even more popular than his.
I also think the whole bagging on CAD is just stale. Everyone has done it. It's Scott doing the lazy thing to cover up for having no imagination at all.
