073 - surrounded by coincidence

what are the chances my dart would land right in the middle of that pile of crashed cars?

or that my dog would randomly choose to run away on the EXACT night i left the gate open??

the world is full of mystery!

  3. Another man that comes from Explosm says:

    Hello and great comics you have here.

  4. Yet another man that comes from Explosm says:

    Hello and great comics you have here and I’ve been to a six car pile up, it was a bit too hot for my taste.

    What are the chances that it happens to be my birthday today, the EXACT same day it has been for the past 24 years. They plan these things well.

  10. Noproblem23 says:

    Lmao these comics are AMAZING. I actually think they are like 100x better than explosm.

  11. Jeff says:

    FLETCHEEEER

    My internet has been acting up all day. As a result, your comic archive, which would normally have taken me under an hour to read through, has cost me several hours of my life. And, after finally getting to the last page, I find that there are no more comics!!!

    YOU ARE NOW MY MORTAL ENEMY.

    But the comic is great, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

    Also it is quite humorous that your character which everyone hates exaggeratedly is called Jeff because that is my name and I have had confidence issues in the past and in fact pondered suicide after a particularly difficult break-up.

  12. Sean says:

    Hey! I’m someone that just discovered these comics yesterday, thanks to explosm of course. I have to say, I read a good 20 of them just last night, including the first few. They are HILARIOUS. I especially love yesterday’s…

    But yeah. Fantastic comic. Definitely bookmarked!

  13. That guy says:

    Oh man, this is a horrible web comic. By horrible I mean it makes me waste a lot. I just read through the whole thing. Now I’m behind on studying for one of my finals. Horrible, horrible comic. :|

  14. Monster says:

    I just read the whole archive and I love it. I’ll be coming back. :D

  15. Yet just another student that should be studying and found this site thro explosm and has read every comic says:

    I am another student that should be studying and since I have a doctorate in procrastionation I just couldn’t help but notice the fine ironies (such as Kevin the banker, ironic cause some of the first bankers were Jewish and yet pork is forbidden in Jewish culture for being an unclean food, that may not have been the intention but I found it quite riddled with ingenuity and ingeniosity) I look forward to stalking ANTICS along with the daily stalking of C&H
    Sincerly,
