--- Quote from: skine on 26 Jul 2011, 23:04 ---Nice reference Jeph made there.
--- End quote ---
Umm... no.
--- End quote ---
I assumed that Jeph, in a subtle way, had referenced something from my childhood.
I'm sure you can see where "It's Back" in reference to an espresso machine shaped like a dinosaur is comparable to "We're Back," a movie about dinosaurs.

You can think that all you like, but as a two word statement about something that left abruptly, "It's back!" is pretty innocuous.
Just another fine example of a viewer seeing something that probably hadn't even crossed the artists mind...

--- Quote from: benenator on 27 Jul 2011, 00:36 ---Since nobody has pointed it out yet:
Brick Joke trope!
--- End quote ---
Also, Flat What.
Also, I tried to find if there was an Adams' Law on TvTropes, but then decided actually finding it would be extremely unlikely.

No links to tempt the unwary and lower productiivity, thereby increasing the work that needs to get done, resulting in new hires to lower the unemployment rate? Son I am disappoint.
Brick Joke and Flat What.
--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 26 Jul 2011, 22:57 ---It took me a minute to realize he meant Douglas Adams... I was left thinking, "is this the guy who told us not to buy any Orson Scott Card books without giving an equal amount to GLAAD?"
--- End quote ---
What in the world? What kind of insane troll logic is that? (not refering to Near Lurker, but to whoever near Lurker is quoting.)

Either it's that Jeph is a genius or Jeph is [I won't finish this sentence or I'll get banned again].
I prefer the former.

I think it was perhaps that Card has said things like the quote at the top of this article, and if Jeph did say that (I vaguely remember something like that being said by someone having something to do with this comic a while back), it was probably just said to make a point about neutrality and whatnot, especially (I didn't read the whole article, it might say one way or the other) if Card publicly donates profits of book sales to anti-LGBT groups.
Personally I fail to see the relevance of the comment at all. It probably just went over my head, but I don't see any connection between Adams and the LGBT agenda.
