Oh, Zach... Zach, Zach, Zach. You were so close. The joke would've been perfect if it had just ended one panel earlier. Or if you cut out the second-to-last panel.

If you really wanted people to see both panels, you could've put one in the votey.

But then this thread will be full of people saying "Huh? I didn't get it. Why is this funny? I am an intelligent geeky nerd, I can't be expected to put two and two together." Zach is very knowledgeable of his target audience in that way.

It reminded me of Asimov's "The Last Question"

Conquering age and death... traveling the cosmos... dispassionate existence... pallid flesh...

Sounds familiar, just needs one small change: the only thing left holding meaning is to ASSIMILATE.

Zach, you've been listening Ayreon, haven't you?

As a nihilist I found this comic offensive. It isn't sad that the universe will die, it isn't anything. Goodbye.

I wasn't under the impression that nihilism left one open to offense.

As a nihilist you are hurting my feelings and making me sad

Impostori!

I'm a nihilist, not that matters.

That made me grin.

Did anyone else find the ending of this comic very Calvin and Hobbes-esque?

Oh please, you must think all multi-panel comics are the same.

I enjoyed today's Peanuts about cats and laser pointers.

Everyone knows that SMBC is just a much less funny Family Circus clone.
