1903

I'd say this stupid "bun" thing was shaping up to be the new XKCD phone, but unfortunately he's still writing those too. And, just in case that wasn't bad enough, we also have this stupid political official angle, almost like Randall knew the "bun" thing was dumb and flailed around for a couple minutes trying to make it more interesting. I think the worst part, though, is that the Governor's reactions are so banal. He's not addressing this situation in any kind of interesting way, which leads up to White Beret Guy's ever-so-quirky responses in the last panel. I guess "it's been an honor to serve" is supposed to be the punch line, but why not have WBG say something like "Good idea! They'll want to hear about it too!" You can't have a comedy routine with two straight men*.

*You know, the straight man, as opposed to the guy telling the jokes-- like Margaret Dumont and Groucho Marx. What did you think I meant?

1902

What is it with this guy and maps of the United States?

1901

First, Randall has already echoed C.S. Lewis's critique of this kind of meta-condescension/false humility. Second, Randall appears totally oblivious of the fact that he is the guy on the left, not the guy on the right.

1900

"Reading Wikipedia", hmm?

1899

Nothing much to say about this one, except that Randall's failure to draw the ground in the third panel reveals the stick figures as the jumble of meaningless geometries they have always been.

1898

Having to spend the first 3/4 of your comic explaining why it's a bad joke is a bad sign.

They're even marching perfectly in step with each other again! Someone less lazy than me should check if this exact art (sic) has been used before.

1897

I have to admit, I thought this one was funny at first, but then the caption ruins it. There was a perfectly good joke here-- why did it have to be ruined by Randall's unbearable smug narrator voice?
