Just hope none of the giraffes fall. IIRC, their necks are prone to snapping from even moderate heights.

Well, that's certainly one way to make the distance a human can throw an object seem really, really impressive. An AVERAGE human can manage 15 meters straight up with a baseball? Wow.

Is that with or without the hurty arm that comes with throwing as hard as you can?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

The idea of a skywriter trying to do diacritics amuses me at a very childish level. Although one supposes that in countries whose languages employ them, it would be something they're used to?

Huh, the what-if title text has been altered slightly for the last two giraffe stack pictures. The one for the guy suspended horizontally was amusing though.

It's a mark that goes over a letter to change its pronunciation.

I'm So Random.

I wonder where these numbers come from. Randall is geek enough to use either /dev/random or throw d10s instead of using a pseudo random generator.

Speaking of random, a cardinal just randomly landed on my car mirror. Random

Do you think this comic counts as a callback to this one or am I reaching?

Though I think that earlier strip is a lot funnier and includes more interesting consepts for what is essentially the same joke. Annoying when randall repeats himself like that.

I remember how dinosaurs used to keep flying into my window and breaking their necks. Good thing that doesn't happen anymore.

I look forward to my baby dinosaurs growing up and laying eggs for my consumption.

As a sidenote, my cat absolutely fails at being a predator.
