@DrunkCat Meh, stupid strip but I have seen several. I saw it when it came out, I think I originally assumed the baby destroyed krypton or something. It wasnt noteworthy so I deleted it from memory. Did that strip ruin xkcd for you?
@darkzrobe That strip didn't really "ruin" xkcd by itself. The humour/quality of it all has been a downward slope for a while; that's just the comic that basically confirmed it won't ever be as good as it use to. For example when Maude died in Simpsons it was already on a downward trajectory but the jump-the-shark moment for me exactly was when Marge got shot in the neck with nine tranquilizers to stop her from cleaning.
@DrunkCat I don't think I have found a web comic that has been great all the time. Most are like Saturday Night Live. Maybe one or two really good ones for every 10 hours you watch. XKCD just happens to line up well with what I do so I enjoy seeing people run in to the same problems I have. I havnt noticed a decline or anything
XKCD really did jump the shark with that dead baby joke months back.
@DrunkCat ?
@darkzrobe
@DrunkCat Why is that one jumping the shark?
@darkzrobe It's technically killing the baby but just the same if you don't see it then continue enjoying xkcd since you can.
@DrunkCat - I think it's called licking the donut now. ;-) -Check with @Pavlov.

"A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language." This could become my new favorite thing.
@christinewas Oh man you're in for a helluva time.
