001975 John obtains a new captchalogue card. Likely a remnant from when captchaloguing and the sylladex would have actually been a relevant mechanic through the whole comic. 001976 Of course he captchalogues the card because WACKY SHENANIGANS. 001977 is the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001957 John captchalogues the ashes to clean them up. Its pretty messy but it gets the job done. Overall I think this sort of brings home how pointless and inefficient captchaloguing really is. 001961 John has gone to fetch his[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001939 Dave informs John he’s now stuck using hammers forever, which John shrugs off saying it ‘can’t be that relevant’. This is just the first of a number of fourth-wall groaning literary ironies that the comic will try to pass[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

HOOBOY. 001907 introduces us to two concepts, captchaloguing and sylladexes. Two funny words that would be the basis of a lot of the humor and antics of the early comic, and then fade out into obscurity and uselessness as the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
