The ticks on the y axis conceal the area of the graph between them. Why didn't Randall just build his graph so that the x axis did similar? Then he could keep up a continuous level of activity equal to the size of the ticks, rather than just doing short bursts to coincide with them.172.70.91.146 09:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Don't really know. But look, I was waiting all day yesterday for the Wednesday comic, so I'll take any comic at this point T_T Z1mp0st0rz (talk) 14:54, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- It was at least half an hour before end-of-day-Midnight, for Randall's expected TZ. I know you're a new username, so perhaps you weren't aware that he often publishes (as best as we can pick up) quite late in the respective day (currently UTC+6). And it's also really not so much unknown to be (fairly) early in the following day (yet still officially on the relevent M/W/F).
- That doesn't mean we aren't often frustratingly gripped by antici.................pation, but we are very rarely stymied for more than a whole day (developmental delays to rolling out 'special comics', aside), and I think we are lucky to have such a conscientious creator as we do. It must be a hard schedule to keep up with. (And also that even if "not every one is a winner", most still are, for most people. Could be worse!) 172.71.178.110 15:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- It already is linked, in the prior paragraph, and isn't quite so relevent to the flag-based variation (which is a kind of cousin to this tricky graph thing). But do rewrite it if you think it can be expounded better. 172.70.90.173 22:13, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
