− | + | In this comic, [[Hairy]] suggests to [[Black Hat]] that he is wasting his life on the internet and they should go explore the world. They appear to walk a great distance, through what appears to be a swamp or perhaps a forest in winter, across a plain, and down to a river valley, at which point the first character can't help but think that the journey would make a great entry on Livejournal, thus indicating that he can't get his mind off of wanting to be on the computer. title text suggests that [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] similarly thinks about being on his computer while out doing other things. | |

− | + | {{w|Livejournal}} is a website on which users can make accounts and, effectively, blog; although the site is designed around the premise that the blogs ought to be used as personal journals, with the ability to privatize the journal or only let certain friends see certain entries. Livejournal was an early social network and an early blog platform, and was a good way for people to let others know what was going on in their lives. As of 2012, Livejournal still exists; although sites like Facebook have become far more powerful and popular sites for sharing one's daily life. | |
− | + | Unlike in most of his appearances (especially later ones), Black Hat does not exhibit any of his signature ("[[classhole]]") trouble-making tendencies in this comic. | |
