    There are apparently only 5 Khoo comics D:

    Ever notice how he looks totally different in each one?

    I don't think I liked his latest iteration.

    Off the top of my head, the Rock Band one, Crimson Skies, "honeyed words from a fair weathered friend!", Portland China, and Kamikaze uncles.

    There was one other one, I think. Cause I don't remember hating his look in those comics.

    Boom Blocks?

    The new comic file name is all "631049026_Gmwbv-L.jpg" now, which makes it a bit more difficult to find at midnight. Robot has his work cut out for him

    Wow, even "M4G" worked. This is going to make referencing comics so damn easy.

    Hmm, there doesn't seem to be an obvious pattern. That's sort of a shame, especially if they've never fixed the problem where the site will skip a comic some times.

    That was the Crimson Skies one I mentioned. I still use the phrase "Do you trust me your friend, or cold unfeeling technology?" to this day.

    edit: What the hell is the new Fav Icon? A Smiley face?

    this is because the went back and added bubbles for the books, and then used those hi-res prints when updating the archives

    Tell him that technically speaking, it would be his depiction of you that would look racist.

    I do recall someone at the MIT talk asking why there aren't more non-white characters, and Gabe and Tycho said they didn't put any black people in the strip because they didn't want to look racist. I think they were afraid anything they did would be taken and used against them, so they just ignored all non white characters forever.

    I guess it....sort of works? At least when we get Khoo now, it's all the more awesome.

    Hmmm... the new front page looks weird on my display (1920x1200), the old header (is that what it's called?) didn't look that cut off.

    All in all, it doesn't seem organic and seamless, rather...stacked together?
