or IS he?

Why does a raptor need twoi black hats? Raptors are raptors.

It's a double-negative. By wearing two hats, you are definitely not not a raptor.

Edit: P.S. The original is one of my favorites and got me hooked. At the very moment I saw it I was waiting for a new phone I'd just ordered to come and was sitting there hitting refresh while it sat in Memphis for 2 days.

This thread needs a better balance of making xkcd worse and making xkcd better. it's just going downhill.

Is that worse or better?

by **Jack Saladin** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 6:34 am UTC

No more posts of just deleting dialogue or putting a hat on something. If it's not actually clever or original in some way, don't post it. You can make a slightly worse version of this thread in Forum Games if you want to spam those.

by **mat-tina** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 3:52 pm UTC

As you can see, it's not me putting a hat on something.

They really need to go back and fix the original moves. Keep it exactly according to the script but fix those lame lightsabre fights. What, Obi-Wan forgot how to fight?

And apologies for the poor text bubbles.

Holy mother of CHRIST you people crack me up! This thread is amazing, and even if I don't come back to the fora much, I need to keep this one bookmarked.

I really enjoyed drawing the boomerang comic, and some folks on IRC started remixing it after reading the alt-text. I see you folks have done the same thing. Here were my two remixes, pulled from that conversation:

and:

Are you even allowed to do fan-art of your own strip?

Anyway, I'm thinking of doing a refrigerator-magnet series with a bunch of square panels, based around the boomerang ones, but with a few others that would be fun to throw in. Maybe a bunch of half-panels. The boomerang and the hats remixes have been my favorites so far -- especially the ones by mat-tina (here) and Xeio (here). <3<3<3<3

Someone here made a PHP script that reordered the Boomerang script. I'll see if I can find it.

And thanks for the compliment!

@mat-tina: Awesome, thanks. I'm going to see what some IRC folks can do with that ...

Hey, can anyone find the boomerang remix in this thread with the girl riding past on the shark? I saw it when first browsing, but I just searched back through the thread and couldn't find it.

I made another bad one. -_-

Xeio and mat-tina have lost the thread. By complementing them, Randall has now made their comics pure awesome. And therefore, not slightly worse. Sorry, guys.

by **EsotericWombat** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:38 pm UTC

@Randall: Your second one is similar to the one I did; Only I had him chasing a boomerang that didn't come back. The ending is the same though. (Thanks for having us last night btw.)

anyways, I forget if this one has been done before

Hm? I was too lazy to draw my own raptor or find one so I just used randall instead. (If that's what you mean. I'm not very good at this...)
