I noticed that, but the principle is the same, and I can't see it as anything but a parody of it.

I did some editing on the xkcd suggestion in 21 and came up with this:

[down]I can do that but yes, they're an awkward size and shape.

Not bad. Perhaps centre the two top panels more, and make the gap between the lower two smaller? But they're not easy sizes to work with, looks like.

The XKCD comic is better than either the current or the suggestion.

27 with suggestion from 28 looks good.

This was my take on it:

I'm not convinced I did the best job with the whitespace in-between panels, though. (I think I lost a column of black pixels on the right edge of the upper-left panel, too. Bleh.)

Good enough; 32's up and tagged. I included the caption with it; yea or nay?
