Comic 994: Now with colours (two of them even!)!

Advent Calendar
title: Advent Calendar; alt-text: "I think you could get up to about 11:59:57 before you'd have trouble swallowing the chocolates fast enough. At that point, you'd need some kind of a liquify-and-chug apparatus to get up over the 11:59:59 barrier. Anyway, Merry Christmas!"

I don't know why this is supposed to be funny. If the goal was for me to look up Zeno on Wikipedia I guess he succeeded there at least.

    Actually, I have to concede that this is okay.

    Zeno's Paradox is this thing involving halving numbers and how that could actually get it to another number .

    Given that it's a somewhat known math-type paradox, I guess that does fall under "Romance, Sarcasm, Math, and Language." The comic compliments the caption and vice versa. So it's okay.

    The only complaint I can really say is that the alt-text seems excessive.

    This is the second color comic in a row. Maybe Randy's decided he needs to upgrade his art to stay relevant?

    This would be better (still not funny in my opinion) if the flaps got successively smaller.

    To stay relevant - for whom?
