#993 – Whipple

Paper cuts are a minor injury but they are usually very frustrating based on their location. I mainly get them on my hands. A perfect place to continuously bump and scrape the cut 20 or 30 times an hour. It probably doesn’t help that I am constantly slathering my hands in alcohol gel sanitizer.

If you weren’t here on the magic day, here’s what people saw and were responding to below. I held back the comments of people that figured it out until the next day.

    OH nooo look at this mess on this day of April fooling

  6. Micah says:

    Yeah, I know this is the April Fool’s prank. I quit being fooled after the first one, but it’s still funny, nonetheless!

  7. Issal says:

  10. Shorty says:

    Either the picture isn’t appearing, or the random symbols are an April Fools joke.

  11. Jippen says:

    Very classy. Happy april, everyone.

  12. Kenny says:

    For the love of Gods! I can’t see anything!
    If that stays so, you should change the format of your images!
    Ready to convert the images in the smaller J-PEG?
    Stop using such a big images, they don’t load all the time!
    This was a message to our dearest Writer.

    On the other hand, maybe it is my pc who can’t load the image.
    Furthermore, he is already old, so it would be logical to assume so.

    A shopping trip for a new PC, it seems.
    Part of me always wishes PC’s wouldn’t age that fast.
    Rather than buying a new PC, you could just keep the old one.
    I believe that is the future!
    Lovely people, follow me to that future, wherein PC’s don’t age!

  16. IQgryn says:

    I can’t figure out if you’re being clever with an April Fool’s joke and I’m just not getting it, or if the update actually got borked that badly.

  17. Keeper says:

    I know exactly what you mean. Indeed it can.

  18. Orvelo says:

    april 1st… Kinda cryptic message and broken image… dunno what to think 😀

  19. Sean says:

    Oh no, the comic is all messed up! This is terrible, it’s almost as if – as if someone is pulling a prank on us! Whoever would do such a heinous thing on a perfectly normal day such as today?

    :O

  20. dansushi says:

    It looks like your comic was eaten… by some Linux, or something…

    My first post on first place…

  30. Reina says:

    Oh noes! Biff seems to be under an error via… toilet paper… and I think the image is trying to say ‘sleep’ but it’s difficult to tell.
    Ahh, the good ol’ april fools. *mwah!*

  31. Miles says:

    Yes, yes it can. =D

  32. ZeoViolet says:

    Uhoh. All messed up!

  33. ZeoViolet says:

    Or maybe not. I smell April Fool’s.

    I totally feel today’s comic, so true that it “It can be+ƒrus”. So true.

  36. i.half4 says:

    Oh, dear god. Thank you so much that this proverbial “fly on the wall” still has a few legendary “bugs in the system.”

  40. Dave says:

  41. Green Torso says:

    Indeed it can, that’s pretty much all there is to say on the matter.

  42. Cinematic says:

  46. Felix says:

    You broke your unicode.

  47. McGehee says:

  48. … are we supposed to not be able to see this?

  49. Torri says:

    Ah No, it’s that day again.

    I’m going back to bed till Saturday.

  50. baughbe says:

    Yeah, that’s about right. Whipple is about a block from where I live and E£ÖImF∆oñî√qª∫º˘∑ŒèrÛsæG- describes it exactly. ƇRfi΢≠Tº™ however is a slight exaggeration.

  51. Duncman says:

    Maybe it’s an April Fool’s Day joke

  52. Dave says:

    … and what day is it today? 😉

  53. Hierophantria says:

    … It’s April Fool’s Day folks…

  54. tradiuz says:

    Remember what day it is… April Fools Day.

  55. P says:

    I can see a corrupted pic of biff sitting on the toilet, possibly twittering. The text is garbled though.

  56. Marks1stwife says:

    Perhaps the date might give some people a clue. 😉

  57. P says:

    Yeah I think this is an April Fool’s. XD Nice one!

  58. Mike says:

    I found the fix! In the url, enter 04/01/10 after the comic’s url. It should all become clear then.

  59. KJ Fellie says:

    Lol April Fools 😀

  60. just passing says:

    Ho no a fish have partly eaten the comic !!!

  64. Raventhalos says:

    You do know what today is?

  65. Mophtran says:

    It’s funny how, every year, there a lot of people who don’t know what day it is.

    That being said, I’m intrigued by toilet biff and await the real comic. For now I’ll just wait for Chris to hide my post and watch the other reactions. 😀

  66. NaomiKnight says:

    APRIL FOOLS DUDES

  67. PhoenixAnew says:

    Hey peeps, time to check the date!

  68. Cuzn Jimmy says:

    Wow, some people just don’t get it

  69. kroko_dok says:

    I love it how every year the people don’t get the April’s Fool Joke : D

  70. Seamonkey says:

    …stupid line noise, thought we got rid of that when I ditched dial-up…

  71. Oh noeS! It’s the April2k-2048+1 bug!

  72. Solteur says:

    Hehe
    Anyone notice the date?
    Hmm…… <.<

  73. Tofudisan says:

    Am I the only one who thinks this is an April Fools Day prank? I mean it’s kind of a lame one but it could be a prank.

    Think about it…. the post hints at frustration.

  74. Corinthiar says:

    It looks to say:
    “The toilet paper goblins only attack when disturbed from their sleep.”

  75. silversaraph says:

    I have NO idea whats going on!

  76. Plaidman says:

    Must be the poop monsters interfering with the inter-tubes.

  77. Aliens says:

    I believe this is an April Fools page!

  78. Roobles says:

    I’m not sure if this is some form of a subtle sarcasm or meta humor, but can those here so far have really overlooked that today is April Fool’s day?

  79. Hank says:

    and today’s date is…

  80. -2! says:

    On purpose is my guess. Is it just me or all the avitars commented so far. Or at least a lot of them the same

  81. -2! says:

    Duh, April first. Darn exam time making me loose track of the dates. My guess was right about the on purpose and such although it took me a moment to get it.

  82. Obvious Guy says:

    Gotta love April 1st

  83. AnonymousMe says:

    Long time reader, first time commenter…
    Well….
    I refreshed two times before I figured it out…

    I’m guessing April fools? =p

  84. Trip says:

    I’m suddenly reminded of lasagna…

  85. josh says:

    oh hey, look at the date, think it might be time for an april fools joke?

  86. Aytug says:

    First line ends with “attack”, second ends with “from their sleep” and I think the word “gremlins” is in there somewhere, but… Is this an April’s Fool joke?

  87. Contajusone says:

    April Fools?

  88. Kosh says:

    Hmm, I wonder what today’s date is?

  89. i.half4 says:

    Are the sixth mythical creatures this week Avatars?

  90. Slurreydude says:

    Darn goblins messin everything up! :p

  91. Gunna2Cool says:

    Very good joke… at first it didn’t load at all… probably all the people trying to refresh the “broken” image slowing it down ;)… PS: it’s way past 12 here already 😀

  92. Davad says:

    So, no one noticed the date then?

  93. bacon says:

    Brilliant 😉

    In regards to your comic strip, I find that on this fine day, the 32nd of March I believe, I have to remark that you’ve made quite a marvelous addition to an already marvelous collection.

    seriously… I hate this day.

  104. Skizinator says:

    Nice April Fool’s idea! Although the gag of April Fool’s ironically takes some humor out of the comic…

  105. That's the Joke! says:

    Enjoy April Fool’s!

  106. darthwrench says:

    alas this shall be hidden till later but this has to be one of the best april fools comics yet, thank you for brightening my day by alowing me to read all the angry comments

  107. Billy says:

    All I see is “It can be frust…” in the story part below the comic. So, part of me wonders if this was intentional…

  124. Rafter says:

  141. Dan says:

    Note the date, people. 😛

  142. JC says:

    The joke is actually quite obvious.

    On a related note, the comic displays biff on a toilet, with a gun in a mailbox, and some sorta flip phone.

  144. Wayne says:

    I can’t make out the first couple words, but the rest seems to be “… paper cut gremlins only attack when disturbed from their sleep.” I think the comic got paper-cut… oh, and by the way, it is April 1, so this was probably intentional.

  145. Devious_Psychopath says:

    Zalgo…

  146. Darkdemon says:

    April Fool’s anyone?

  147. coughman says:

  148. Anony-mouse says:

    The comic is corrupted for the same reason that Google changed their name for.

  149. Rebelske says:

    Something makes its attack when obscured from her sleep?
    It is angry and something paper?

    It can be frustrating not to be able to read something you count on being able to read.

    Have none of you ever heard of April Fools day? Sheesh.

  167. Stephen says:

    Lol and a happy April Fool’s day to you too.

  168. Stephen says:

    Waiiiit a second. My comment is “awaiting moderation?” Are you blocking everyone who knows it’s AF day? Clever, quite clever. But I guess if this comment shows up I’ll be wrong. Happy AF either way.

  169. john says:

    Come on guys, let’s think of what the day is today

  170. RabbirofDeath says:

    Seriously…. April Fool’s Day…. Anyone?

  171. Frank says:

    Wow.. you guys do realize it’s April Fools, right? I’m guessing it’s supposed to be like that.

  172. Hanii Puppy says:

    Am I the only one that thought it’s a joke about pictures getting corrupted when sent from mobile phones?

  173. Signature-Skitz says:

    I understand it perfectly.

    I know it’s hard to get but all you have to do is refresh the page, right click on the image and open in new window. Then you close that window, come back to this page, and look at the date.

  174. Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos says:

    This is a joke about loosing reception on your iphone while browsing.

    So many people don’t get it it’s like an unintentional April fools joke :p

    “_______________ a paper cut gremlins only attack when disturbed from their sleep.” I can’t figure out the first part though.

  186. the doctor derek says:

    it’s obviously an april fool’s joke saying that his scanner or whatever he uses to upload his comics is fubar. 😛 but regardless I am still curious about what the actual comic would say!

  187. Cadu says:

    L2 April Fools Guys.

  188. Anonymous anonyminity says:

    Um, guys. I’m pretty sure the quality of the comic is an April Fool’s prank. We’re not supposed to be able to read it.

  189. Redmage says:

    Ohhh, I get it.

    April Fools!

  239. Dave says:

    Dear Everyone Else,

    Look At The Date This Comic Was Posted

    Love Dave

  240. Heatherface says:

    Either your readers are in cahoots and I’m left out of the party, or I’m simply the only one who knows what today is. 😛

  241. Nicoli says:

    April Fools?

  242. Keek says:

    Apparently I’m the only one who noticed it’s April Fools today…

  243. Kasain says:

    all i can make out of the text is that something (toilet paper?) only attacks when disturbed from it’s sleep…. otherwise i’m not entirely sure if the comic is supposed to be all glitchy or not >_< blah

  244. Cimon, guys, check the date on your timestamps

  245. Chris says:

    Um. Guys? April 21st, 2010? It might be an April Fool’s joke of some sort?
    ..if not, do fix your site Mr Hallbeck.

  251. Briandavi says:

    Um…April fools?

  252. Tony says:

    Did y’all forget, ITS APRIL FOOLS! Could this be his prank?

  253. Crimson_regret says:

    This is obviously April fools, guys, be smart…

  254. blackfedora says:

    Really guys? It was April Fools…

  255. Pietro says:

    I think it says something like ‘Twitter tresspass paper his on attack when absorbed from their sleep.’

    However, this makes very little sense to me.

  256. Samurai for God says:

    You all are aware of the date right?

  257. Alessia says:

    I have a feeling its intended to be garbled. It looks like it might be a scanning error.. BUT the typed text is garbled too. It’ll probably be revealed when the next upload is. Its april the first too.. or was.

  258. pockafwye says:

    Uh folks… it’s obviously an April Fool’s prank.

  259. Steve says:

    04/01… Y’think perhaps this was intentional? (For those who didn’t remember April Fools Day)

  260. Matt Lee says:

    Awesome joke, Chris! You are so friggin awesome!

    If you don’t get it this is an April Fools joke! Chris did this to the comic on purpose! Ha ha ha!

  261. Matt Lee says:

    Wait what? It cleared up?

  262. Crimson_regret says:

    I liked it better when it was a mess. =P

  263. Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos says:

    Lolz, I though the April Fools page was a legitimate joke about losing reception on an iphone:p (I don’t actually have an iphone so that was a guess, but that looks A LOT like he’s using a touch-phone, doesn’t it?)

  264. Pietro says:

    I don’t know what I’m more surprised by: the fact that I didn’t see that it was an april fool’s joke, or the fact that I was able to read most of it when it was garbled!

  265. tailman says:

    … did you have some script to block all comments containing the words april fools?cause a lot of those comments above my earlier post were not there when i made it…

  266. Aidan says:

    HAHAHA. I love how myself and everyone else thought we were the only person who realized what day it was.

  267. Aidan says:

    Besides MaskedMan, who is smarter than us all.

  268. Matt says:

    Strange, I never got this update in my RSS reader 🙁

  269. maverick660 says:

    lol, smart of Chris to moderate all the people who got the joke, kept it pure for those who didn’t. 😀

  271. Acies says:

    @ cultist434, howdyhamster, etc.. how did you guys do that messy font? =O

    And I figured it’s April fools thing… but is there some way to read the “It can be+ƒrus`‘[∂î≈=í#©ifÂFPÁ>¢m[……‰fl–˚yhE£ÖImF∆oñî√qª∫º˘∑ŒèrÛsæG-|ÃOKg®nÆ⁄∑ÓƇRfi΢≠Tº™øY⁄QPáj§^/◊GV◊fip” bit? Like how when I was little I though “l33t” was just gibberish… or when my friend wrote a blog entry in wingdings and I translated it by copy and pasting onto Word and changing the font… can something like those be done to translate this passage?

  272. MaskedMan says:

    Well, my prediction was right… if you multiply 25! 😛

  273. Moogle says:

    I think that the real prank here was that no one who knew it was an April’s fools prank could be seen until today. Nonetheless, I like it!

  274. AdmiralMemo says:

    It’s been Chris’ tradition to moderate the April Fool’s Day comments. So the REAL fools were all those who thought they were the first to realize the joke and tried to clue “everyone else” in, only to have their comments masked along with the rest.
