you should have directly linked to the image of the comic!
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Yeah, you've also clearly missed the best aspect of this comic which is the use of the TITLE property in the IMG tag used for the comic to add an extra dimension to the plot... It usually makes you cringe with your eyes closed, which really only winds up helping you fill in the imagery it invokes more clearly because you're no longer distracted from the original comic "artwork".

Really, it should be the ALT property that contains the extra line, but apparently the TITLE property supersedes the ALT property for display on mouse-over...

TITLE = "Love and circuit analysis, hand in hand at last."
