That's fine, penguins don't speak/type english anyway.
Those damn job-stealing alaskans.

Wish I could say the same but I apparently cannot.

It was nice knowing you all.

>_> <_< >_>

I also love penguins.

And now, in order to avoid plagiarism, no-one else can follow suit and like them too. You have just destroyed turtle conservation and breeding programs around the world, Kimra, because no-one else likes them now. I hope you are happy.

I love turtles.

I love folks who think that having an unoriginal idea equals plagiarism. They're almost as amusing as folks who think that something can't be well executed unless it's original.

I love the Zach cheerleaders. They brighten my day. So do humorous gifs of people falling over.

Even if the joke has been done somewhat before, it really has been improved upon here. And I doubt that Zach really read that particular reddit comic before. It's an inherent risk of making jokes about 'it happens all the time' stuff. Only way to prevent a accidental 'copy' is to stop this webcomic altogether.

It's the implication of this post that makes it awesome.

Isn't the point of those boring Reddit comics for the reader to be like, "Oh yeah, that totally happens to me all the time!" ie, they're things we all experience and can relate to, meaning the joke is inherently NOT original? (Nevermind the fact that calling ANYTHING on reddit original is kind of a joke on its own.) I feel like it's entirely possible Zach thought this joke up all by himself without having to rely on Reddit for inspiration. Somehow millions of other people do it.

[quote="Frostbite"][quote="Hypersapien"]You didn't get the idea for that joke from [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/jy4s9/my_old_nemesis_usb_insertion/c2g1uq8?context=3]here[/url], did you?[/quote]

You didn't read the rest of the thread before posting, did you?

It's not even very long. Shame on you. Also you know, considering that was linked in the very second post.[/quote]

He wasn't linking the same thing. The first person linked the comic that Zach apparently built on, shedding light on the fact that Zach probably did not originate this idea. This person linked an actual comment on the thread that shows that Zach may very well have stolen this idea completely from that comment, which is disappointing and completely different from the second post on this thread. I'm a bit sad that Zach did this, especially only a few days after the cat strip, where he explicitly noted his concern that he might be reposting a joke that's been done and suggested that he looks up his jokes to make sure people have not beat him to it.

A fork does too work with soup. I don't know what kind of strange soup you've been eating.

[quote="AHMETxRock"]It's not a reddit post, it's a rage comic. Or a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu7 comic since they don't even rage.

Yeah it's not quite an original comic. OH HEY MY FORK DOESN'T WORK WITH SOUP.[/quote]

Yes. This.
