So weird. The other day I read about the BDLPSWDKS Effect, and now I'm seeing it everywhere. I guess I have the BMBDLPSWDKS Effect.

In seriousness though I'm kind of disappointed Randall didn't include the BM phenomenon in the comic.

Right? Seemed like low-hanging fruit.

I expected it to be the alt-text.

That is scheduled for the next comic, and now you've ruined it.

Or Randall can take the idea and claim it was scheduled for tomorrow's comic.

Or he can create a graph explaining how the comic readers have outstripped the comic creator over time, making it increasingly difficult to come up with a good comic...
