Are you kidding? I was waiting for someone to do the christmas strip by filling in with panels from other strips to complete the story. I think someone else tried it too, but yours was amazing. I recognized most of them but they really did all fit. Perfect.

Poor fishyfish - actually, I noticed it and rofl'd, because I love ferrets with an unholy passion. But my autistic arse got distracted ("oh look, a butterfly!") and forgot to mention it when I posted. I should make that my personality anecdote in the "Who you are" thread...

Okay, I think that that's all. The most I did to any of the comics was change color or rotate part of it. I used the xkcd font someone thoughtfully provided and GIMP for the editing.
