XKCD IS STEALING JOKES

woke up this morning to a bunch of people telling me that xkcd stole my joke

looks like they were right

totally fucking lame — i always knew this comic wasn’t funny but i had no idea randall was “crowdsourcing” his jokes. i use that shit in my standup and now people are going to think i’m quoting a dumb webcomic. thanks a ton you fucking dick.

p.s. please help spread this around and if you know how to get it to mr. munroe, please do. i would really like to see this matter rectified!

Not the first time something like this has happened.
