Only the nerdiest speak the file names of their image macros out loud, but I'd say the joke works well because it's a comic and we on one level recognize the dialogue as writing. It's a bit Nextwave*. The real question as I see it is, did they have basketball in the old west? I can buy the nether realms Kit hails from being outwith time somehow, but trying to combine two separate anachronistic references in one joke makes me think Kit tries too hard to be funny. :(

Love the cow jokes though.

I'm disappointed that no-one took the opportunity to make a misteak pun in this thread.

According to lolwikipedia, basketball-like games existed at least fifty years prior to some dude nailing peach baskets to a gym wall in 1891, so, yeah, it is withing the realm of possibility that one could have played basketball in the years when the West was still wild. However, given that Chick Hearn wouldn't be born until 1916 and wouldn't invent the term "slam dunk" until later still, the matter of basketball being a thing that existed in the old West becomes irrelevant as to whether it makes any sense for Kit to say "slamdunk.jpg."

Kit should use more internet slang to encourage the youth of today to do historical research into exactly how anachronistic her words are.

The puns were pretty great. The "Slamdunk.jpg" felt plain out of place though.

That's because our puns are simply a cut above the rest of the herd.

Looks like the 'Loaf is mentioned in the Webcomics section. He's ALREADY WORLD FAMOUS.

My initial reaction to the "slamdunk.jpg" line was confusion, but then it made me stop to think, "are there computers in this world/setting?"

So, is this foreshadowing? Should we expect to see the internet later on?
I'm interested in finding out more about the world that this story is happening in. Maybe I'm caring too much about the setting? I'm not sure as to the tone of this story yet, so I'm not sure if the world warrants caring about.

Nothing to do but wait for more pages, then!

MSperoni 06-18-2011 09:45 PM

Well I changed the line to something that makes a bit more sense, so you don't have to worry about anything coming up w/ computers :)

The changed version should be up in a few weeks.

I demand that you make Boozloaf a fragile speedster now, just to fuck with whomever put him on that page before he actually developed the minotaur tropes it is referencing.
