1014: Car Problems
| Car Problems |
![]() Title text: Or if you replace your car, we'll be happy to set it on fire again so you can take another crack at getting that shot. |
Explanation
In this comic, Megan's friends, including our old friend Black Hat take the phrase "Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?" literally and are critiquing the style and composition of the picture and not the subject. Megan is hoping that they have any insight to why her car was on fire this morning and not a photography critique. The alt-text reveals what she was looking for; one of them really did set her car on fire.
